Beeper right before touchdown

When doing an ILS manual approach, every time right before touchdown, G/S lost singal, as it shoud, but then the EICAS message AUTOPILOT with beeper and master caution light gose one.
The manually says when A/P lost it's input it will act as that, but that doesn't seems like the most appropriate time for a master caution right? Huh
I'm not an expert on 757, but based on my knowage on other boeing, such thing might have some sort of inhibition, like 737's AT disc light dosen't come on after landing.
Or is this just the real 757's "bug"?  Roll Eyes

Hi, I brought up this EICAS message in this thread:
https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1559849962

I thought it would be inhibited too but the manual only mentions landing inhibits for communication EICAS messages, not master cautions such as this.
I don't hear the beeper on real world cockpit videos, but without a manual reference there's no guarantee that it doesn't occur on some aircraft.

For now, the message can be inhibited by turning off the flight directors once visual with the runway and A/P is disconnected for a manual landing.
