Propeller thrust question

Ahhh yeah. Just realised you'd never hit the zero thrust speed. Woops!

And PS: yep, all of us light a/c folk have hit that. I think we've all
flown flat out, level flight. Quite a few light a/c are approved to run
continuous full throttle

That's not the "zero thrust speed".

If so, is it a case of the speed very slightly and imperceptibly dipping
below the zero thrust speed, getting a little thrust to bring it back to the
zero-thrust condition and doing this over and over again?

Nope, all things being maintained constant, the aircraft maintains a
steady state equilibrium.
