It never does. If we receive a good idea which will help our pilots learn something new or will help to add extra joy to our hobby, and if it can be done, we will do it.

First of all: your question is independent of aircraft type, Boeing, Airbus, Cessna or whatever other aircraft one is flying is irrelevant.
Unless the ATC instructs otherwise, the missed approach procedure or any other procedure, should be executed as published (see Jeppesen charts, or the ones in the AIP).
The instructions of air traffic control supersede everything published, so in your case even if on the chart the missed approach point is indicated at 1500 ft, and the ATC instructs to begin the missed approach procedure, then the pilot is expected to begin the missed approach procedure immediately, not continuing descent to 1500 ft and then start the procedure.
The machine must always be set ready for the next step to do. In your case, You are expected to set the flight management computer to already know what are the next segments to fly (missed approach in this case). In this precise case, I understand your machine was configured to use the autopilot to intercept and follow the localizer and glidepath (beware that in Europe, when landing is forbidden to keep the autopilot engaged below 500 ft and all pilots are expected to disengage the autopilot at or above 500 ft and always land manually the airplane).
Usually, but not always, the missed approach procedures begin with maintaining runway heading after the missed approach point until a certain fix or radio-navigation aid (VOR/NDB) or radial and distance, and then turn towards a holding patern. Other times, the turn towards a holding patern is immediate after the missed approach point.
So your machine was at 2500 ft on autopilot, and You received the instruction to go missed. From my perspective, but everyone that thinks I am wrong is welcome to correct me:
- if the published missed procedure implied maintaining runway heading, then that was a pretty easy execution: disengage the approach mode, engage heading and altitude hold and vertical speed, maintain heading and begin immediate climb to the published altitude or the one instructed by ATC;
- if the published missed approach procedure implied an immediate turn, then that required a bit of piloting skills: disengage the approach mode, fly manually until reaching a stable flight condition and then reengage the autopilot. (Depending on the area, it could be also executed with autopilot, but is way easier and safer to fly the airplane manually in this case - now it comes in my mind Innsbruck: keeping the autopilot there on a missed approach it may get the airplane into the mountains surrounding the airport.)
Have good wind!
