would it not be helpful and practical (and perhaps necessary) to introduce an immediate warning and annunciation of the discrepancy between the Actual EPR and the Commanded EPR as soon as the more normal 2-3 second lag becomes a clear discrepancy as at about second 154[95] (in figure 2), rather than requiring crew to observe the discrepancy and establish if it is “just” a glide slope, autothrottle or other issue – even more so by second 160[95] when both engines are rolling back.
My thoughts exactly !

Should be relatively simple to implement. Actually I would propose a BA038 EICAS message...
