If I'm working radar and I vector you in such a way so as to intercept the localizer above the glideslope, I fully expect you to tell me, at which time I'll break you out and we'll try it again. I'm paid to set you up properly and I take pride in it. Granted, it's been many years since I've had a problem with this. As you'd guess, one tends to get a feel for this after a few decades. However, I wouldn't ask for a "box pattern" (local vernacular?), but rather, just advise that I'm too high for the glideslope and I'd like to be taken out and vectored for another try.
Of course, one still gives the occasional vector across the localizer for "spacing"
