My understanding of DMEs associated with an ILS is the same as Alex. These DMEs will read zero at the glide slope origin although the transmitter, which can serve both runway ends, may not be physically at the glide slope origin.
I also understand that this type of DME is encoded in FMS databases in a manner that could enable a DME/DME updating system to choose to automatically ignore them.
