I suspect that similar to the Asiana 777 at SFO, this will turn out to be autopilot mode confusion on the part of the pilot, coupled with a late charge of instruction from ATC, and failure to monitor the flight path while trying to make the transition.

Nobody would be screaming "stop it, stop it" instead of doing something if the button was working fine.
