Most prop strikes occur with wood composite or carbon fiber blades. (We haven't had a prop strike teardown with a metal prop, yet.) The inertia of energy is absorbed by the blades disintegrating or being shaved off. I agree with your assessment of a hydraulic lock on startup, but not when the engine fires and it pulls fuel or oil in from the intake tubes. If it fires, there is a good likelihood that the accessory shaft will twist. At landing speed, the aircraft travels 3.5 feet for each blade in contact with the ground at initial point of contact. As the engine slows, this increases. Consequently, the rearward deflection of a very thin blade exceeds the rotational shearing. Additionally, the reduction of blade length per rotation with a normal flare landing is less than a tenth of an inch. In other words, the wood fails well before any engine parts are stressed to the +400 foot/lbs of torque design load.
