I'd question if there is a zero pitch stop on most props. You"re on the ground fine stop (why does 11 degrees ring a bell Dowty Rotol?) making some thrust, just not enough to move the aircraft. So I don't think condition one exists. The prop stays on the ground fine stop until the engine turns it fast enough to reach the governing range where the pitch increases to keep the speed under control.
