Default ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

I am familiar with at least one airport that has a Runup area and Hold
Short line inside the ILS critical area. As such, it would seem that the
above statement is inaccurate, as a plane that has not been released could
mistakenly travel past the ILS hold line and create a disruption for an
landing plane.


Yes, it could. It could also mistakenly travel past the runway holding
position line and create an obstacle for a landing plane. But both of these
mistakes could happen at a field with an operating control tower, so they
seem to be a bit outside this discussion.
