I don't know. I thought 800' limitation was from Boeing. Maybe not.
In either case, engaging the A/P below 500' on takeoff during stick-shaker activation--particularly when engaging the autopilot on the same side as the stick-shaker--isn't a very smart thing to do. The autopilot isn't analogous to a BRS!
