I just imagined this...similar to the gyroscopic effects of rotating wheels, wouldn't a take off with APU running cause a lot of gyroscopic stress/vibrations. Take an APU running at a few thousand revolutions a minute, at the very end of the aircraft, making a swing of a few meters during rotation.
