Theoretically and IMO, on a swept-wing aircraft, washout ensures that the tips stall last (or the roots stall first), meaning the centre of pressure moves aft just during the stall and therefore the nose drops. I very much doubt any aeroplane would be certified if the nose pitched up during a stall. The thing would shortly after flick and spin, and all would die.
