LGP prevents a blocking call, it doesn't necessarily force a PC call.
It decreases but doesn't go away completely. If the defender is stepping backwards, then he's voluntarily giving up his position. This is only a general rule, however, and is not definitive nor absolute.
If the ball handler starts backing in, and the defender falls down, it's usually a foul; unless something makes me think the defender flopped.
