Absolutely!

If the call has been cleared, we can ignore it, if the channel fails, we
want to flag it up and report it.  Plus, why did the channel fail? It
shouldn't, so again, even more reason to report it when it happens so we
can investigate it.

If, for example, the channel fails because the PRI has been pulled out
of the back of the card, that is serious.  We need to know if it is
serious or expected, and the user clearing in the middle of the call is
expected.
