I’ve had this happen when the pop-up valve engaged before the expansion take the safety valve. The expansion tank has waterlogged no room for expansion.
Note that the Accor valves may close with high pressure, but that is not a design safety feature of the valves. According to Accor, their push-pull valves should not close under high pressure.
