LPV approaches

Is this statement correct, I thought that even on an LPV approach the CDI sensitivity remains constant.

"In most cases, GPS CDI sensitivity stays the same regardless of the distance to a waypoint (so long as the receiver remains in the same mode). There is, however, one exception to that rule. When a WAAS-certified receiver is being used to fly an LPV approach, once past the FAF the CDI needles will behave like localizer/glideslope needles, becoming more sensitive as the aircraft proceeds down the final approach course."
