The fact is that scandi's arn't shy types especially the northerners if you really couldn't have seen the required visual features some one would have phoned there mate in the CAA.
I would tend to agree with that...however there was an interesting thread on the Biz jets section here which highlights that it is possible for there to be issues with approaches (granted somewhat different issue than the subject of this thread) that persist for many years without anyone doing anything about it.

With reference to not being able to see the runway at the MAP having read the AIP and the various ICAO differences you highlighted while their approaches are not compliant in many ways (steep angles, shorter segments etc) I couldn't see any references to "required visual references" in the doc saying they deviated from ICAO. There is nothing noted in the airport's AIP entry either which suggests anything non standard either as far as I can see.
