Interested in Your " Aha?" event. What happened?
I have had many a dodgy intercept at rather high speed and xwind, but the old 737 hound, once in VOR/LOC, does not let go!!
Full deflection and flashing amber , max bank and a few S turns and it track that Lorens Beam with no concern for the consequences!
( I have not checked , but and I do not recall any disconnect criteria)

Even more so with the GS , that being the standard 3 degree or the false 6 or even 9 degree.
Also remember it is rate driven, ie the quicker the LOC or GS movement, the quicker the FD movement!
Had chap chase the 60 degree LOC lobe on base int Bremen ages ago, ATC got a bit crossed.

Anyway ,what was the specifics of your event if I may ask?
