I've seen that happen on one of our Jetstreams as well, luckily during taxi out, not takeoff. It can really catch you off guard since the tiller center point can move as a result (ie. nosewheel centered with tiller offset left/right).
Good to see it ended well (although the off duty pilot could've given the pax a quick heads-up to assume brace position).
Saw ZK-JSH in Nelson today so she must be all good now...?

It was -VAH involved in the incident not -JSH. I understand -VAH is back in service now though.
