Dyno chart for an engine: if torque is flat power increases linearly with speed. Simple.

In your thought experiment I'm not sure what you are trying to get but I think there is probably something slightly wrong with how you are looking at power in this situation because the gravitational potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy distributed in a certain way between the two components of the system.
