chornedsnorkack EGPWS does not provide protection on the ground; some versions might warn of windshear during take off.
However, associated equipment - Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) will provide warnings to alert crews of an incorrect runway, taxiway, etc. The Honeywell system is described in their web pages. It would have given an alert at Lexington, but a warning at Taipei would have required the NOTAM of runway closure to be included in the RAAS database.
