Not sure about gyrocopters but fixed-wing pilots who later transition to, or add, a rotary wing license are intensely counseled to resist the baked-in urge to push the nose over to counteract a stall or imminent stall.
In almost all single-rotor helicopters, pushing the nose over — fixed wing style — runs a high risk of causing the tailboom to rise and collide with the main rotor. The rare rigid rotor ships (BO-105s, mostly) are less likely to have this happen.
