Read the Smartlynx accident report. The initial causes for the ground strike may have been different, but the behaviour of the aircraft post go-around is chillingly similar. The guys in Tallinn were saved by quick thinking (they did a teardrop rather than a full circuit) plus luck (no obstacles), but still slammed into the approach lights. Without the built-in area AP-BDO would have made it to about the same point before 25L but already inside airport grounds:
