that instant of time is not long enough for the stall to develop. As the result rotor wind tunnel have shown a rotor blade can reach 30 deg AOA and still not be stalled.
But it DOES stall. Quite dramatically, too.

The other interesting part is the recovery:

Aeroplane stall: forward stick, increase power, increase speed

Helicopter stall: back stick, decrease power, decrease speed.
