Any such lawsuit should be immediately dismissed unless the OTS
system was transmitting a valid ident.

How many instrument-rated pilots remember that any navaid can be
on when OTS? How many instrument-rated pilots remember what the
ident will be in such a situation?

How many should care? If the morse ident or self-identing (a-la
G1000) is anything other than the ident printed on the chart it's not
right and one needs to go missed (if you somehow got that far into the
approach before figuring it out) and determine why before attempting
to fly the approach. Could have tuned the wrong frequency or
something.

I haven't heard any ATC tapes or anything, but I wonder what happened
on the first approach that led the pilot to believe he'd get in the
second time around.
