Francois - you didn't need the knowledge of test pilots to answer this one - the main rotor experiences an increase in rotor thrust at the onset of translational lift which causes the aircraft to climb without any firther application of lever - the TR gets the same increase in rotor thrust and if you still have the pedal position set for the hover, there will be a surplus of TR thrust which will yaw the ac right unless corrected.
