A question and speculation

In a deep stall, will the horizontal tail (not a T-tail) see such an airflow that it tends to level the aircraft or even drop the nose? Is that what I see in the video?

If that is the case, then the (presumed) loose cargo which had shifted aft at rotation could be free to shift back forward - perhaps even beyond its original planned location - and exaggerating the nose drop.
