B 767 pitchup on touchdown

Came up in conversation recently.
Just after touchdown when the spoilers lifted the B 767 would pitch up slightly.
The Boeing FTM warned against it (tail strike) but did not explain the cause.

I always assumed it was because the wing Center of pressure moved forward as the spoilers lifted but does anyone know of any other cause?
