For info, on the GR.4 the GPWS is inhibited below 200kts, hence it doesn't go off on landing. If you're doing a wings back approach (where your threshold speed is above 200kts) you have to manually switch it off.

If the Typhoon uses the same system (more than likely) then the GPWS wouldn't have prevented it as it it based on speed.

Hope this helps!
