Boeing was specifically asked this question at a Synposium a couple of years ago and replied that there is no such tailwind limitation. They also recommended that reverser NOT be used in the process of starting the engines.

If required, due to strong tailwind, the raising of the start levers can be delayed beyond 25%N1 until correct N1 indication is acheived.
