For one example of stalling and unstalling at the same stick position, I was demonstrating a spin in a Blanik glider. Shortly after entering the spin and still holding full back stick before doing the recovery procedure, the airspeed began increasing rapidly and we quickly decided an expedited spiral dive recovery better fit the situation -- low VNE and Rapid downhill acceleration.

Because of our light weight, the Blanik was close to forward CG limits. Heavier people may find different behavior.
