Of course there is. There is "weathervaning" any time the
relative wind is not parallel to the longitudinal axis.

But I think that the discussion was weathervaning into the
actual wind, not the relative wind. If I bank away from the
wind, does the airplane then weathervane into or away from
the wind? The only thing that can cause the airplane to
weathervane into the actual wind is for the wheels to be in
contact with the ground. Without the pivot, a weathervane
doesn't weathervane.
