There would have likely been an indication on the glass cockpit displays that the fuel had been cut off, perhaps the pilot flying noticed this and asked the captain.

Yes, there is, but the reaction to that would be to look at the position the cutoff switches were in. We didn’t hear “wtf, they’re in Run” - the report says they just moved them from Cutoff to Run and the engines responded as expected.
I think you have to really reach to make this not pilot error. I know it’s appealing to call this a Boeing problem, but the evidence just from this prelim report is very compelling.

Until we hear the actual CVR audio, I don't think we can assume much. They are under a very high stress at that point in the flight, and while the "WTF?" might be going through their minds, all they could've resorted to is toggling the switches off and on again.
