Now I will state up front I'm not an A300 guy, so I could be wrong.

However, it seems that either the F/O is starting his after landing flow early and bringing the flaps up on the roll out or this is some kind of RTO going a little bit wrong. It just seems like that's not a landing flap setting.

Excellent observation! There's more to this story than what's stated in the caption.

There usually is.

No speed brakes, no T/R's, Doesn't look like the main's are locked up (MAX braking),

I wonder if it was a mechanical problem rather than pilot error?
