FWIW,
I once heard a friend transmitting with a rig that was in swr foldback
condition due to his antenna. Each syllable started at full power and
clamped down. (My terminology) It was a strange sound. I had never
given it much thought but expected there might be some delay built in
somehow to keep it clamped down for the start of the next syllable and
so on. I wonder if such a thing exists?

None. Transmitting into a high SWR (such as no antenna connected) will
result in the power amplifier shutting down to protect itself as long as the
condition exists.
Hook up an antenna or dummy load. You should see full power output.
Elecraft has gone to great lengths to protect all of their rigs from such
events.
