I had one recently, when tail wind kept us high with ATC speed reductions. Instaed of chasing GS, we levelled off at 4000'. Then ATC requsted us to descend to 3000', but at same time Acft detected false GS ABOVE us and started climbing frantically!!!

Good lesson... disarm GS if you arent interested in capture... before the surprises.
