Many glide slopes need to be captured when using basic autopilots with care and airmanship. As soon as capture occurs from below the glideslope the autopilot will receive a pitch up command as you are still about a quarter dot below it. The 747 Classic was famous for it, at airports where the glideslope was captured beyond 9 miles.

Thought it was common knowledge.
