Gyro behavior on startup, while rotating

What happens to a MEMS gyro's null point if it starts up while actively rotating? Does the internal hardware make any assumption about the initial motion of the sensor when it starts up?

Say the gyro is sitting on a 50 deg/s spinning turntable when it is initially energized. Does the gyro stabilize to 50 deg/s +/- the normal initial null instability, or does it report an initial rate of ~zero even though it is actually spinning?
