I agree with you about throttle movement. Many times at airports with great stands of trees (which blank the natural wind), I will give a bit of throttle to decrease descent rate below 100'.

I never thought of going around, just a bump of power to compensate and everything worked out fine.
You could just pull the stick back a bit to maintain flight to the aimpoint...
