From the FAA training materials ...

In coordinated flight, the aircraft will stall straight ahead, even in a steep turn.

In uncoordinated flight, a slipping turn will cause the outside wing to stall first, and the aircraft will go over the top.

A skidding turn will have the inside wing stall first and the aircraft will stall-in.

It kind of seems like the effects of the outside wing flying a teeny bit faster, etc., seem largely to be disregarded, in comparison with the larger effects of uncoordinated flight.

Disclaimer: ~I have never tried this~
It was kinda annoying to realise that no-one has ever showed me any of these manouvers. Hehehe, maybe I can grab an hour in the Decathalon and have a play ...
