In this case I don't think they really knew that the issue was the jammed stick before the co-pilot pulling back on his stick gave the flight computer priority. It's hard to really say from the information given exactly when they discovered the camera was jammed and removed it vs when the plane was getting itself back under control.
They also said the captain was pulling back on the stick as well.. or at least ATTEMPTING to. Maybe they're indicating that the stuck camera (which seems to have come unstuck before recovery was complete?) prevented him from doing so.
It would be really weird for both pilots pulling back on the stick to result in a dual input error situation.
