Just stating the obvious: Steady state tailwinds won't change anything about the rotation from a physic's point, and changing wind conditions apply the same to HW as they do to TW.
The thing I can imagine happening with a strongish TW vs the more normal HW in combination with a heavy AC is the ground speed will be much higher, and that sight picture might have led the pilot to make an inappropriately large ANU input.
