Dumb question perhaps, am not familiar with the PC-12 but did you take off at Flaps 30?
With a retraction/deployment time of 30-seconds is it possible that the flaps were in transit in excess of 130 KIAS and this brief period
triggered the excess speed violation?
It looks as if it would take some 45-seconds to go from Flaps 30 through Flaps up but if you used only Flaps 15 this should not be an issue.
Edit:
Please disregard the above in RED and check the PC-12 aircraft.cfg to see the actual flap deployment time. My understanding of how FsP works (very far from perfect) is that it will penalize you instantly so you needed only one or two seconds where you exceeded 130 KIAS with the flaps still retracting to the Flaps 1 setting.
The 7-knot FsP violation and your 137 knot ACARS speeds are probably not entirely coincidental.
If not, I am out of ideas, sorry.
