A compromise in structural integrity or uncontained fire in the cabin are probably the only reasons I would consider an abort after V1.
BTW:
Depending on the aircraft data, even a perfectly executed stop at one knot prior to V1 can put you off the end. Some aircarft manufacturers specify the EXACT distance from start of roll to stop - of the main gear. That can put the nose of the end by a few feet.
Oh, and the Vmu thing?
I think that guy is being a bit of a harda$$ on his FO.
Vmu can be unpublished even if it is part of the flight test program if it is not relevant for pilot operations.
Also, I'll take a pilot who can stick to SOP when the $--- hits the fan ANY day over someone who can spew data like savant, then handles a V1 cut like a frightened monkey.
If you can fly it well, not knowing the minutia is unlikely to get you in an accident. Besides, if the real thing happens, are you going to sit there and get all philosophical about FAR 25 certification requirements? And if it never happens, who cares? Fly the plane, man.
That's what I love about flying - the very instant that I learn something new, every who doesn't know it is a bloomin' idiot.
