I read it and found that the mention of article 68 of the Vienna Convention is objectionable.
Art. 67 of the same convention says that any act of withdrawing from a treaty shall be carried out through an instrument communicated to the other parties, signed by a head of state/government.
Such instrument in case of the Lisbon Treaty is the notification under art. 50.2, which arguably takes effect when the negotiations start, not when the withdrawal agreement becomes effective or after the 2 years' period.
The other arguments used by the AG also amount, in my personal opinion, to glass climbing of doubtful quality.
