Shifting while accelerating

Regarding today's TdF stage, I heard a commentator speculate that AS's chain came off when he shifted under acceleration. I know that with the old derailleurs you were supposed to back off while shifting, but I thought the modern designs claim they can shift under acceleration. Can someone clarify this? What else would have caused the chain to come off?
