Conveyor belts move.
If you assume zero rotation of the wheels, the whole belt could still be moving forward with the aircraft. My point is that the conveyor has no effect on anything. The plane is applying thrust independant of it, and the aircraft will start to accelerate relative to the earth, regardless of what the relative motion is between aircraft and conveyor.
