I'm with Rainboe and others that say "Go".

I can't speak for the 737, but the 744 and 767 Non Normal Checklists can give you a clue. They both clearly state that with just an indication (and no yaw, loss of airspeed, or buffet) that you operate the engine normally.

For the 767 at least, Boeing have stated that a reverser deploying in flight during takeoff and climb, and descent and landing, can be successfully managed.

The reasons for conducting a high speed abort are pretty clearly stated, and whilst you could argue that you thought the aircraft was unable to fly, I think that with no buffet or yaw, there would be no reason to think that to be the case. Far safer to continue the takeoff than to reject at high speed.

There is, of course, the other argument that what if your V1 was not Accel - Stop limited, and you had 2km of excess runway, but thats for another day (and thread)
