as can occur if COG is behind the neutral point)
That must never occur. You cannot get civil airplanes certified otherwise.
It must never occur within the flight envelope.
If you get close to stall, the neutral point normally shifts aft a lot, but under certain circumstances (e.g. highly swept wing) it may also move forward, leaving you with the CG behind the neutral point.
