There is another waypoint, RW28R, on the chart, take a look. The FMS will provide path guidance between F101D and RW28R which may be faulty in what we think is a pre-GPS A320.
I assumed one knew the differenece between the waypoint on the beginning of the final segment, and the runway endpoint (which defines a segment.) oi vey.

Here are some earlier explanations on why A320 pilots normally don't have ILS raw data displayed on this approach:
All of that explanation is why you only have this selected on the #2 system (ie copilot) as a backup.

We have a crazy policy recomendation to de-tune the ILS for an RNP approach when the runway is equiped with an ILS, why?
This is not an RNP approach...it is RNAV visual.

The GPWS is valid, but because some approaches are 2.8 degree (due hot weather), if it is cold and with enough barometric error you are actually low on path compared to the ILS.
Also, you will note on most RNP charts, glidepath is not coincident, so of course, you may get a noise.
