I havent heard of this. We have a no-fault go-around policy here like most airlines. Our verbiage of that policy requests but does not require reports after a go around. (We can discuss the merits and lack thereof of this requested report at some length.)
Perhaps your friend was getting a response on the report he filed rather than a "Why did you miss?" call?
