I'm assuming that a non stable approach would be aborted and a non precision approach would be aborted at the briefed minimum. Under what circumstances would you consider it appropriate to breach minimums and perform such a maneuver vs initiating a go around the moment things were clearly not as expected?

Only thing I can think of is either fuel starvation or loss of power/control authority such that a controlled landing of some kind was the only viable option left.

To me if your less then 100M of the ground and 500M from the threshold and your doing avionic gymnastics something very unexpected (wind shear/equipment failure,etc) happened or you belong in the back of the tube with the rest of us...
