No, it doesn't count. Dragon Ball has established that whenever a Sayian is near death, he gets stronger. Obviously, being unconscious is kinda, you know, a side effect to being near death. <_<

And the same goes for Ichigo, being unconscious was only a result of Ichigo himself fighting his inner Hollow in his inner world.

None of them got stronger just because they fainted.
