oh dear, this is such an old discussion: in ANY GA you could be in a position where you are higher than an altitude given in the GA procedure. You might have a published GA altitude of 10 000 ft but still you could be somewhere at 12 000ft. The problem is exactly the same.

There have been endless briefings before and after sim and flight sessions about this topic. They all boil down to the point that - depending on a/c type - you should initiate a GA with power setting and configuration change, then go into a shallower climb or even a descent. If you are not configurated yet it might even be wise just to level off and then descent.

It's also wise to talk to ATC before you do something you are not sure.

So far, the Bourget approach doesn't seem very different to me.
