There is a warning that ignores the fact you are configured for landing. It is based purely on the terrain database
around each airport and where you are in relation to the runway.

"TOO LOW TERRAIN" : alert issued when descending below a safe radio altitude while far from a runway.

In this case, they were probably too close to the runway for a warning to be issued!
