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?

If only the glideslope portion is not working correctly, would not the
approach revert to a localizer approach with the accompanying increase
in criteria? (Hence no need to turn the system off.) As others have
posted, if you do not receive the propper identifier, don't use the
signal.
