It would depend if loss of control as a result of under/over steer/aquaplaning could be linked to the wheel position with the offending reversed tyre

If it played no part it'd be ignored

If driver was being an idiot on a road with lots of surface water where the tread pattern matters in terms of clearing water at a sufficient rate then it might become a factor in deciding to prosecute

If driven within sensible limits it won't matter
