Fundamentally I don't know what the cause is, because there is no full safety report yet, but I doubt that it was a driver error alone, which is what automatic braking systems at signals are actually targeting.

There are situations where the dispatcher needs to instruct the driver to ignore the road signals and hence also ignore the automatic enforcement of the signals. It shouldn't happen to often, but the real world is always more messy.
