Default Engine off, in gear, one wheel spinning

This does not make sense to me. I have my S4 up on jack stands. The parking brake is applied. My manual transmission is in 1st gear. The engine is off.

So both rear wheels are locked from spinning. The trans and engine prevent any other motion. The front wheels should only be able to spin in opposite directions, but not together and not one at a time.

I prevent one front wheel from spinning with a ramp underneath it. I can still spin the other freely. Is this normal or is something completely trashed on my drivetrain?

I haven't had any drivability issues.

Sounds normal to me.
