@CONF iture:

In clean configuration VLS = 1.23 Vs1g, AoA approx. 8.5 degrees.
So yes, when taking off on a cold day it is possible to hit alpha-floor at M<0.53.

Alpha_SW > alpha_max? No.

P.S.
On further thought, the AoA sensors could be frozen in any position when taking off at sub-zero temperatures.
