There would be a decrease in speed. Perceptible? not sure. Momentum is high and time is short.

The way I envision it the lead wing goes from high lift, low drag to high drag. The lagging wing stays in high lift mode causing autorotation ?????

  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.
