edit: I'm wrong, leaving this for posterity.

You're neglecting two potential sources of upward acceleration. One, the turn itself, or in other words air resistance: if you stop turning when you're pointed straight up, clearly you're going to go up, not down (at least to start with), which means the turn accelerated you upward. And two, any forward acceleration provided by the engine while "forward" isn't horizontal.

(I don't know enough about aerodynamics to actually determine how a barrel roll actually works, though, only enough to contradict your post :)

I'm not addressing any sources of acceleration. I'm only looking at the final acceleration vector. If the magnitude of that vector is 1 gee, then there are only two possibilities. One is that it perfectly opposes gravity, resulting in zero net acceleration. The other is that it doesn't perfectly oppose gravity, resulting in downward vertical acceleration. It is not possible for a 1 gee acceleration vector to result in upward vertical acceleration, regardless of what causes the acceleration.
