Patently False TCAS and EGPWS Alerts

I'm in fact doing a study on crews/pilots who've been punished/suspended/censured/reprimanded for not responding to patently false avionics warnings (TCAS/EGPWS/wind-shear alerts etc):
.
a. see this link
Obviously the new parallel runway at Logan will be generating plenty of these TCAS warnings.
.
b. Seem to recall a 2003 incident on mid-finals at Johanneshurg where a BA 747 crew didn't go round on receiving an EGPWS warning in eight/eighths blue - and were suspended, censured and retrained.
.
Anybody know of any similar instances?
.
Anybody apprehensive about the forthcoming new generation of weather radars with built-in turbulence avoidance directives?
