You are kinda correct about the tail rotor - it's called translating tendency.

Read all about it here - http://helicopterflight.net/translating_tendency.htm and here http://www.helicopterpage.com/html/forces.html

That second link is my favorite. The home page is http://www.helicopterpage.com/index.html and belongs to Glenn Bloom, an Army heli pilot. He makes complicated stuff uncomplicated, adds some real life examples and a bit of humor.
