Just for astronomical reference - a full moon is pretty much never
up during the day. A full moon will rise at sunset and set at
sunrise (or at least very close to those times - off the equator,
there is a little bit of leeway to work with, but not much).
So the question doesn't arise in folklore - because it doesn't
happen.

Odd, because I have seen something at least close to a full moon during the
day here in Texas, as well as when I lived in Tucson, Arizona--at about the
same latitude....guess I'll have to see if I can't get a picture of it for
you sometime. Or maybe its not a full moon but something close?
