Taxing the Apache with its wheels

I have noticed that taxing the Apache and locking the wheels again after unlocking tried running 5 and 10+ meters to make sure its locked.

When applying the breaks and re-setting and pressing and holding trim mode to re-set scas, the helicopter's tail wheel will ( even locked) slide to the right slowly where it should have been stopped.

>>Easy to replicate:
  Taxi normally then unlock and stay centered for a while, lock it the tail wheel and move a few meters to make sure it's locked and reset trim then stop the aircraft.
With the helicopter fully stopped you will notice that the tail wheel will move right , nose will move left even without trimming in the first place.
tested with both trimmed / un-trimmed @ 0 winds.

The blades of the Apache's tail rotor are not at a flat pitch when the pedals are centered, and will still generate some amount of counter-clockwise rotation. A few inches of right pedal are necessary to null the tail rotor's thrust.
