Nope, not wrong. At higher altitudes airplanes are more prone to stalling. However, having a higher speed shouldn't make you stall earlier, it should have the opposite effect. High-speed stall does exist, but only on modern-day jets at ridiculous altitudes, as far as I know.

Which leads me to 2 conclusions:
- So maybe put 6 notches down on Spit MKIX is a safer move.
- A plane turn harder on the right because of the couple of the engine ?
I agree with both statements. About the second: when you're turning to the right with a right-turning propellor, and pull back hard on the stick, due to gyroscopic effects an additional force will be applied to the right. Not absolutely sure, but this seems a reasonable explanation as to why it stalls sooner in one turn than the other.
