The GPWS should not have given a glideslope warning inside of 100' agl , should it?

We had an incident years ago in DFW where one of our 737s clipped the approach lights at 4am after breaking out on the ILS with 2 miles and fog. The crew were tired after flying multiple legs and the F/O dipped below the G/S going visual. I think the VASIs were out as well. The Captain called for a go-around inside of 50'. We changed our procedures to reemphasize a FAF gate and a 500' gate (in VMC). I would like to know if this crew had been on duty for a long time and if this was the first day of their pairing and if they had flown together before. Those are the key factors in an accident. By the way, our crew diverted to HOU after their go-around. The plane flew fine with a few scrapes.
