Your lower shift cable needs replacing...and you're right. No load on the prop allows it to shift out of neutral.

The shift cable is the cable that runs from the transom up to the remot shift assy

In most cases, the lower shift cable runs from the drive (bell housing) to the switch plate mounted on the engine, then a separate upper shift cable from the switch plate to the remote.

Read this thread on how the shift interrupt system works on the Alpha drives.
