Even with the clutch fully disengaged, there's always a tiny bit of contact somewhere on the friction disc. Maybe even windmilling. It wasn't until getting into a discussion with another forum member here that I ever tried just revving up in neutral with the clutch disengaged. It actually works when warm. There isn't enough contact to overcome the viscous drag of cold lube. If it did, I would suspect something was not quite kosher with the clutch.
I've driven a couple which were super easy to downshift into first, even without doing anything special to spin up the input side.
