At the end of the roll the airplane would be in a serious
nose down attitude, and going pretty fast. I don't think you can get
from there to straight and level while keeping a local 1 g down weight
component.

Of course not. I think the only reasonable interpretation of the
"aileron roll is a 1-g maneuver" claim is that the maneuver itself
will be at one g, while setup and recovery can be at g-loads normally
experienced in non-aerobatic flight.

E.g, enter a 15-degree nose-up climb (requiring more than 1-g), do the
roll at 1-g, then recover from the resulting 15-degree nose-down dive
(requiring more than one g).
