It may have been 1st to 2nd; I am not entirely sure. Regardless, though, I've wound it up just the same way many times and never heard the tires chirp during a shift before. It didn't seem like a particularly hard shift, either.

This is interesting. Unless the speedometer movement is being caused from vibrations. Usually the speedometer feed is off the final output shaft of the transmission. If the final transmission shaft is turning the speedometer will read miles per hour.
Another quick check is to get a helper and see if the driveshaft is turning with the wheels on the ground and car in drive. Use a mirror on a long stick or some method to avoid getting under the car during this test.
The tires have to remain on the ground. You do not really have to rev up the engine much for this test. . Hopefully otherwise it is just a situation where you do not have enough fluid in there to allow the transmission to engage.
