Part of the issue may have been that the plane had slowed down so much that the stall warning stopped (it disengages below a certain airspeed apparently). When he stopped pulling up, the plane sped up and the stall warning started again. Pull up again, plane slows down, stall warning stops.

I wonder if something about this system was changed after that incident - why not keep sounding the stall alarm if the plane ends up outside the flight/sensor envelope? Can’t you assume that it didn’t magically cross the stall zone back into normal flight?
No, because an equally (probably more) likely scenario is that the relevant sensors are giving bad readings.
