This would make sense as one of the big reasons for ACARS is to allow maintenance workers top prepare for an aircraft with a defect before it arrives. Exceedances cannot be cleared by pilots and must be recorded assessed and cleared by a LAME.
The beauty of ACARS is that Maintenance staff can be informed early rather than depend on the pilots to report problems before they land or at the gate. It also means issues are not errr over looked by the flight crews
I would be very surprised if 447 suffered some form of pre-crash engine problems. Given the initial info from the BEA and Airbus that no immediate issues have been found with the aircraft, this would support that.
