And then 10s later the switches magically fixed themselves? The likely not electronically connected switches since that would compromise engine redundancy?

intermittent state switching is absolutely a thing in (poorly designed/manufactured/tested/QC'd) electronics
It is, and one would expect that a single switch failure would be far more probable, so how often have we had switch failure single engine cutoff in the 787?
The other pilot likely flipped them back - but at that point, it was impossible to avoid crashing.
All this rests on whether we have CVR audio of the pilot(s) manipulating the switches.
The rodents were remorseful and fixed the cables in the meantime. /s
