It all sounds about right. Also, since it took them so long to close the
thrust levers, I'm guessing this was not a flight crew, but a
maintenance crew. The parking brake is either on or off on that
airplane.
The reference to EPR's of 1.25-ish would pe about 30% of max thrust,
maybe a tad more. Probably enough to get it going with the brakes set on
a wet slippery area.

It is interesting that they recommend running the engine on the opposite
wing to avoid possibly damaging the airframe. Sounds like a rush job caused
this incident, no wheel chocks, running all engine at once. As my grandpa
told me a long time ago, "Haste makes waste."
