PAPI and Glide Slope are point source aides, so flying "one dot high" on either will still get you to the touch down zone, albeit at a higher rate of decent.

T-VASIS in Australia is a multi-cource aid, flying "one dot high" still brings you in on a 3° slope, but with a higher threshold crossing height and a displaced touch down zone.
