Of course "throttles were wide open and the brakes weren't engaged" is an accurate description of the symptom. If the computer is incorrectly deciding that the user wants to slam the gas, then it might dutifully write that incorrect data in the recorder.
It depends on how separate the sensors and logic for the recorder are from the sensors and logic for the controls.
