I've always had trouble with similar statements. Would I be correct in suggesting that you mean that while certainly producing thrust, no power is being used ** to accelerate ** the aircraft. After all, there is added kinetic energy (of the air accelerated backwards), and heat energy (pardon the poor term) of the air and perhaps tires/brakes, hence the presence of power produced by the aircraft.
