Locator false lobes

Can the ILS locator also have false lobes, like the Glide Slope?

I once armed approach mode too early when being vectored to an ILS, and the plane turned around four miles early. I don't know whether it was a "false lobe", or some other extraneous signal, or perhaps simply a fault with the autopilot.
