This was eventually described as a case of Pilot Induced Oscillations or (PIO).

PIO recovery isn't taught (at present) in most airlines with FBW aircraft. Below is a link to a NASA study on the phenomena.

Cheers and hope you know what to do if it ever happens to you? (let the controls go...as hard as that is to do in the flare)
