Is this trailer weight bias demonstration indicative of the handling characteristics of mid vs rear engine car stability?

No. Not at all. This is just showing that when the trailer weight is in the rear of the trailer, it causes negative tongue weight, which exerts an upward force on the rear of the tow vehicle. If you tied a large helium balloon (very large) to the rear bumper of any car. you'd get the same effect.
