I guess I'm not seeing why it should matter, unless the T-tail is high enough to be outside the prop wash. If anything, I'd expect the higher tail to have a slightly higher AOA, assuming the air travels from the prop to tail in a straight line. Also, depending on the height of the propeller, the thrust acting against the locked wheels would create a pretty good nose-down moment even without any lift from the tail.
