My experience:
Sample size = 3, number of tests >= 5 each last night.
Results:
Unit 1: Micro motor stalls before pulley slips.
Unit 2: Micro motor stalls before pulley slips.
Unit 3: Pulley slips before motor stalls.
So based on my evidence, you are 66 2/3% correct! (Adding your results to mine makes
you 75% correct!)

This "axle stub" is actually a standard Lego(TM) stud. Thus you could connect the
micro motor directly to the bottom center hole of 2 x 2 brick or to a lift arm, for
instance. Likewise you should be able to snap the friction pulley onto the top of a
1 x 1 brick.
