I'm actually a bit confused about what channel(s) are executing the
'h' extension. From the description in OP's e-mail, it sounds as if at
least one channel is dropping into the 'h' extension, and some
channels are not. Which channels are they? If it is the outbound
channel, then since that channel doesn't execute dialplan, it will
never get put into the 'h' extension, unless you use the Dial
application's 'e' option. If you want hangup logic and you're using
Asterisk 11+, you could also use a hangup handler on the outbound
channel.

But otherwise, I would expect that the 'h' extension would always be
fired for a channel executing dialplan, so long as it is in the same
context.
