AMRAAM mishaps onthe F3

Just been reading about some integration problems with the Tornado F3 and AMRAAM, apparently the AMRAAM locked onto an escorting F3, which
"The AMRAAM’s seeker went active and the missile tried to home in on the Tornado escorting the one that did the test-firing. The AMRAAM missed because the escorting Tornado was in a position that allowed it to escape the errant missile."

How did the F3 manage to evade the AMRAAM?
