Retreating blade stall during an auto is definitely a new one for me, so will go fetch the notebook so long.
I doubt it would have chopped it off in flight. After touchdown and still with a large amount of pitch in the wind? Ever watched a Bell 2 bladed medium run down in a breeze on the nose? They will try and batter themselves to death and that is with flat pitch. After a while you learn not to do it that way!
