continuing to 100' on a 3degree slope (which the approach chart states) will
.. on a precision approach with a 3º slope - yes.

You know that the 3º annotated on the VOR profile is a nominal figure, and that there isn't any slope guidance, right??

On a crappy VOR which isn't aligned with the runway (the VOR is about half a mile to the side of the runway), with terrain (hills, gullys and trees) surrounding the runway (use Google maps 3D to see the area) and the 200' perhaps being 150' - that's a bad statement.
