...Not likely to have been caused by idle thrust though, maybe breakaway or similiar trying to catch up on a late departure?...
I'd be very surprised if it was more than idle thrust.
On the ER at 412T, the aircraft will roll away on a level surface at idle.
This aircraft would have been around the 230-250T mark and you'd be trying to slow the bugger down not trying to speed it up.
