You don't find this unusual?

No. He thought his instructions would work. When he realised that he had
made a mistake, he resolved the situation by sending you around. Pretty
much what I expect from a controller.

Interesting. Apparently I have heretofore been blessed by only flying
into airports with excellent controllers. This atypical experience has
obviously given me unrealistic expectations.

From now on, I will regard landing clearances with greater suspicion.
