GS mini takes tailwind gusts into account as well as headwind gusts, (within certain limits)
Do you have an FCOM reference? Unless the tower wind has a tailwind component you won't get an increment on GS mini.

​​​​​​​Having experienced a shift to a tailwind below 100ft when the tower reported calm winds, I can tell you from first hand and a sore back that the GS mini does bugger all in this situation.
