The plane IS stalling better...the groundspeed has decreased because of the headwind, but the airspeed has increased causing better airflow over the controls and a much better break because you have more pitch authority due to the increased airflow over the elevator...this gives you a higher angle of attack at stall break, thus the prettier 'cleaner' break. I notice the difference to...my 'perspective' has nothing to do with what I feel through the sticks...only what I see. I do see the difference in perspective, but what I can feel is more important in stalled manuevers.
Sorry, you are not getting better airflow when flying into the wind. It's just not the case. The plane doesn't know whether it is flying into the wind or not.
