In the US, TW514 smashed into a ridge doing just this. Now, the approach clearance will be, "Turn (heading), maintain xxxx until intercepting, cleared ILS" or "maintain xxxx until established on a segment of the approach, cleared for approach". MSAs are sometimes procedural, sometimes emergency only.
