You do make a lot of sense in your posting and i dont question your experience as a military pilot. But:
passing the point where the decision height intersects the glidepath
1. There is no "decision height" in a non-precision approach. You probably mean the point where MDA intersects the glidepath, which was the missed approach point according to charts.
Being high over the threshold comes from flying towards the threshold after passing the point where the decision height intersects the glidepath, without further descent, therfore ending up high on glidepath.
2. So what you suggesting is that they leveled out at MDA and got themselfs above the glidepath past missed approach point? Quite probable but that still would mean that
they intentionally busted minimas because at the MAP they were required to execute go around but didnt!
