Wait is not ONLY for use with Answer, that just happens to be a common use.

To answer the OP, a quick look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Wait confirmed that Wait does not work after a channel is hung up:
"If Wait() is run on a channel which has been hung up (i.e. from the 'h' extension), the Wait() application returns 0 immediately and no further processing of the 'h' extension priorities takes place. You can get around this with 'System(path/to/sleep Xs)', where 'X' is the number of seconds to wait. Nasty, but it works. "
