To expand on the above, I think the textbooks just talk about what the aircraft is likely to do with a continuously held aileron deflection as opposed to what any sensible pilot would do.

Initially you'd expect adverse yaw as the roll commences, then as sideslip develops into the turn the weathercocking effect of the fin creates a pro-turn yaw, leading to the good old spiral dive.

No need to over-think this one.
