The thought process behind the lack of tail anti ice is that the wings will pick it up first (larger X section) and by the time those pick up enough for the tail to start having problems you arent' flying anymore.

NASA does have a nice video on tail plain icing (normally part of their complete video) and recovering from it, very interesting
