The shell tries to open the pipe before it puts the command in background, and freezes waiting for it. You have to put it in a separate subshell to avoid this.

Code:
( command < pipe ) &

It still hangs, until the other end opens, but it's some other shell hanging, not yours.

What is your goal here, though?

tee

TEE(1)								   User Commands							    TEE(1)

NAME

       tee - read from standard input and write to standard output and files

SYNOPSIS

       tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.

       -a, --append
	      append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite

       -i, --ignore-interrupts
	      ignore interrupt signals

       -p     diagnose errors writing to non pipes

       --output-error[=MODE]
	      set behavior on write error.  See MODE below

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

   MODE determines behavior with write errors on the outputs:
       'warn' diagnose errors writing to any output

       'warn-nopipe'
	      diagnose errors writing to any output not a pipe

       'exit' exit on error writing to any output

       'exit-nopipe'
	      exit on error writing to any output not a pipe

       The default MODE for the -p option is 'warn-nopipe'.  The default operation when --output-error is not specified, is to exit immediately on
       error writing to a pipe, and diagnose errors writing to non pipe outputs.
