The TM head will, of course, rotate back forward once it is settled. I find this technique very helpful allowing me to approach quickly, slow appropriately, and be on the waypoint (or brush) without undue turbulence from the TM prop, all without taking a lot of time to do it.

There is definitely an art to starting up the spot lock function. Like you said it works best to creep up on the spot. I have an Ulterra with a Cable Saver from Cornfield Crappie Gear. It'll try to tie that cable saver in a knot if I don't do it right. I did figure out when it gets all twisted up to "unlock" then once the head turns back to the normal position, to hit spot lock again.
