As for the gs disappearing downwards while waiting for a break in the rt to call loc established... See numerous threads on this subject.
Personally,bearing in mind they told you on first contact that it was "vectors to the ils" and not "vectors to a fly past at 5000 feet"- I will always just take the glide in this scenario. I find the alternative is just a b##gers f#ck to get back to where you were meant to be in the first place. Not strictly legal in the uk I grant you but part of the pragmatic approach to real world flying.
