This issue has been discussed before on the chan-sccp
mailinglist.
It appears there's something going wrong in the hangup call
in asterisk.

This issue has been confirmed with Junghanns, sangoma and
digium hardware.
In our tests, the machine dissapeared from the network for
like 5 minutes, so you are lucky to get ping back ;)

Our fix was to get an IAX did for the meetme, and call that
external DID for meetme. This seems to work great for now.

Sorry I can only confirm this and cannot come with a fix
