[Asterisk-Users] how to execute something after Dial() ?

let's suppose I have this dialplan :
exten => _X.,1,Playtones(ring)
exten => _X.,2,Dial(CAPI/contr1/${EXTEN},,g)
exten => _X.,3,AGI(update)
where "update" updates some db tables we have based on the type of extension
Now, from the wiki :
If the /g/ option is specified, and the called party hangs up before the
calling party, then Dial exits with a return code of 0 to continue
execution at priority n+1.
Dial returns -1 if the originating channel hangs up, or if the call is
bridged and either of the parties in the bridge terminate the call.
So I may use the "h" extension, but also from the wiki :
Use with great care: Apparently some channel variables get destroyed
when the call is hung up, and those variables aren't available anymore
(or have inconsistent values) when the h extension is being called.
Therefore you shouldn't rely on this special extension for
billing/calling card purposes.
So? how can I have the update AGI reliably executed even if the calling
hangups first ?
