......The Toucan has a straight leading edge with a swept forward trailing edge.....

OK, my mistake. It DOES have a sharply swept forward shape and that would imply that it should have reacted to the rudder by rolling. Either the dihedral effects due to sweep angle are not as strong as my old information suggested or there was something else at play with the Toucan.
