[Asterisk-Users] 'Hangup' not hanging-up, is this intended behaviour?

So I figure I'd answer my own question.
The obvious hit me. Been "working" on this on and off for a couple weeks
now, and the day after I post, I work it out.

_. matches all extensions. t and h (so on) are extensions. Therefore,
_. matches those extensions as well. Whether this is a "Feature" I'm not
sure.

The obvious solution to stop Hangups falling through to _. is this:
exten => _X.,1,AGI,MyScript|${EXTEN} ${ACCOUNTCODE}

And, finally, the problem is solved. Like. Duh.
