G-meter incorrectly displays g-load when passing the vertical

During a constant g load when passing the vertical the g meter will either add or subtract one g. This is incorrect because the vector addition of g from earth's gravitational field should follow the sin of the pitch angle not add or subtract g depending on passing the vertical.
The vector of g is [sin pitch, cos pitch]. Just to be clear I am not referring to the induced g load on aircraft which is of course contingent on the radius of the turn and the velocity of the aircraft, but specifically the gauge should not instantly drop 1g upon passing the vertical effect of the gravitational field on the g meter
