Would it be safe to assume the a sufficient increase in angle of attack to
induce a stalled condition will result in sufficient drag so as to cause a
perceptible decrease in speed?

The lead wing is seeing a rapidly increasing angle of attack due to
elevator input. When the aileron initiates this exceeds the stall angle of
attack for the lead wing. The lagging wing is seeing a reduced angle of
attack and does not stall.

 

Stall is independent of speed and dependent on angle of attack.

 

Inputs for all three axis can be initiated simultaneously.
