depends on where the tape is relative to the plume when the gases exit the nozzle. If you are thinking that the controlled descent should've burned up the tape due to the thrust being too hot, then it won't. The plume doesn't see the tape. it does get hot in that area, but not hot enough to burn up the tape or the adhesive and it is all due to the radiative heat coming from that plume (which isn't as hot as the source). If it got that hot, you'd see crispy blankets and melted metal shields.
