Yes, it's out of phase, it looks just like the pictures of your driveshaft, it slips easily and smoothly (resistance from air pressure inside the slip joint only) but comes to a hard stop just at the point where the splines are starting to show.  There is no question in my mind that there is an internal limiter, and if you think about it, if you have a driveshaft hoop to retain it if a U-joint breaks, it makes sense to not have the driveshaft fall apart either.
