In the NACO plate for ASH ILS 14, the GS intercept altitude (1800') is
labeled "LOC only". How can a GS intercept altitude apply to the LOC
approach and not to the ILS approach? Is this a charting error?

Good question. It'll be interesting to see what others say.
There are a couple of other oddities on this plate which struck me:
a) MUGGY is shown as an IAF, but the plate doesn't show how to locate
it. I'm assuming it's on the relevant low-altitude chart, but is
it common for plates to omit this information?
b) The procedure turn altitude is 1600 ft. above the intercept
altitude. The way I normally fly procedure turns (1-minute legs in a
C172) I'd have to do a substantial dive when procedure turn inbound to
get below the glide slope for intercept. Is this amount of altitude
difference common?
