What is telling is that if you start on the approach and don't make it to
the
final segment, you're kind of in limbo when below the MSA if you need to
bail.

I was taught to not initiate the missed approach procedure until reaching
the missed approach point for just this reason. The missed approach
procedure assumes you're starting from the MAP and provides obstacle
clearance accordingly.
