I'd imagine the transmission's parasitic friction drag along with the 
back brakes maybe dragging slightly would enable the low gear's 
reduction to "overpower" these frictional drags and turn the tires... 
when the transmission is in drive, combined with the lessened low rpm 
coupling in the higher stall speed converter, would not provide enough 
umph to overcome the downstream frictions and drags etc.  ...?   Hope 
that makes sense.
