Narrative:
Pilot reported going around due to wind shear. I assigned 3;000 ft; but the aircraft reported climbing above that altitude. I noticed an over-flight near the subject aircraft. The over-flight was at 4;000 ft. I am not sure of the exact distance from the subject go-around aircraft; but it may have been less than three miles. Approach control operates an over-the-top corridor that passes roughly over the approach end of the runway. Under normal conditions; over-flights to satellite airports can take place without a problem. I found out that on this missed approach that occurred on about a three mile final; the missed approach procedure published; will conflict with these over flights. I am not sure the pilot did anything wrong by climbing to 4;000 ft then notifying the controller; as it is the published procedure. It is clear that the over-the-top procedure is not a risk free operation given an unusual situation such as wind shear..
