No, quite certain that that didn't happen. From what I saw, the 747
stood there waiting for the MD-11 to land and exit before taking off.
He probably chose to enter the runway because that portion was beyond
the threshold.

Not sure if I've conveyanced in words correctly here :\

I also can not imagine what could cause what you said. You said smoke left
the tires of the 747? What would cause tires of a stopped aircraft (just
beginning to roll) to smoke?
