the fact that the pilot flying called for glide slope inhibit meant he knew he was going into a short field and wanted everything HE KNEW TO BE TRUE to be on his side.
As General Norman Schwartzkopf said, this is Bovine Scatology. Why inhibit a warning that is designed to help you out of a hole?

Interesting that the 'Retard Retard' call stopped at 18:48:25.5. I would have thought it would be continuous untill both TL are at idle.
I have read somewhere that one T/L in reverse cancels the Retard warning - or both at idle.
