Once the take off run is commenced then you do not have a tailwind in any real sense. The ground speed will be higher than your airspeed, but there is not wind coming from behind, and over, the tail and wings.

Control displaced when taxiing light aircraft can be "reversed", because at that stage there may be wind coming from behind, but this is quite different.
