I forgot to mention that I assumed that either circling minimums were
equal to staright-in LOC minimums or for whatever reason, the aircraft
did not descend below circling minimums at any time.

The Pilot in this example was not shooting the ILS 34 but the LOC-16.
He finds himself seeing the runway to high to land on 16. Hope this
clarifies the situation.

And, if he has the required flight visibility for circle-to-land
minimums, and has not yet reached the MAP, he can climb tp the
circle-to-land MDA, then cirle to land, provided he still has the
require flight visibility and has sight of the airport.
