Glideslope scalloping can be a big problem with the ILS.

The glideslope oscillates up and down, and the aircraft tries to follow it. It happened to me on glideslope capture somewhere in France, and the aircraft just pitched straight up to 6° and the speed was washing off before I disconnected and made things a bit more sensible.

It is normally terrain related, and known to happen at particular airfields.
