It seems like they do. I've had countless AI fly into the ground (flying over a flat plain) , so much so it starts to get annoying.
BUT - the problem seems that the AI can really do these incredible acrobatic feats and not black out, yet on some gentle turns, go making big holes in the ground.

It seems the AI has been programmed in reverse where I actually see the AI a/c literally rotating along the wing axis at high speed (which is a recipe for instant black out, besides losing a wing).. yet all is OK ?
It is possible that the AI are not programmed with the same FM as the player. From watching tracks, they really do some impossible physics which can only be explained by punching in numbers into the AI's so called FM.

Maybe a good test would be to place a G-Meter output on the screen for each aircraft - this would shake the hornets nest...
