Without hydraulic pressure, the elevator control can move backwards and forwards in a tailwind quite slowly, but strongly- annoying if you are sitting there, so one normally gets an electric pump on quickly to lock it at neutral. Apparently Boeing assure that no gust locks are needed and no damage will be caused.
