Well, from what I understand, the generally accepted aviation definition of
a "stall" is when a lifting portion of the aircraft is no longer lifting.

No, the definition of an aerodynamic stall is when the airflow passing over the
upper surface of the wing separates from it and produces a burble. Lift is
certainly reduced when this occurs, but the absence of lift by itself is not the
definition of a stall.
