@cstross My understanding (which may be incorrect, I am not a pilot or accident investigator) is that the engine cutoff switches are recorded both in terms of their effect (the engines are commanded off) and their position, and that in this case both switches reported both conditions (although with a small gap in time between each switch). It's not literally impossible that electrical issues would trigger that, but it's absolutely not the most obvious explanation.
