To be quite precise the documentation says
---cut---
    g    - Proceed with dialplan execution at the current extension if the
           destination channel hangs up.
---cut---
So I would not expect the g option to have any effect if the *source*
channel hangs up.

I guess you should do any kind of logging or post-hangup calculations
in the h extension.
