I cannot understand the comment that this 'phenomenon' was unknown to flight crew in 2013. There have been warnings about it for years and the advice has always been to capture from below if possible, and if not to monitor range and height to identify the false g/s. Also arming 'APProach' is NOT a good idea in this situation until on the correct slope.
It does appear to be a poor piece of controlling from Eindhoven ATC!
