It looks like neither Playback() nor Background() check for hangup and
will simply play the file all the way to the end, so I simply replaced
the long MoH with a short beep:

==========
exten => 8888,1,Wait(2)
exten => 8888,n,Answer()

;exten => 8888,n,Playback(/var/tmp/manolo_camp-morning_coffee)
;exten => 8888,n,Read(key,/var/tmp/manolo_camp-morning_coffee,1,,10,2)

;exten => 8888,n,Background(/var/tmp/manolo_camp-morning_coffee)
exten => 8888,n,Background(beep)

exten => 8888,n,WaitExten(10)
exten => 8888,n,Hangup
==========

HTH,
