However, one place seems to suggest the "law" applies to h1 after a
resonant, while another seems to suggest it is only after an o-grade.
Does anyone have more details?

Yes. I wrote a book about it: Jens Elmegaard Rasmussen, Studien zur
Morphophonemik der indogermanischen Grundsprache, Innsbruck 1989. The
second half of that book explains what this is all about.

Theer is a digest on cybalist in message # 30490 IIRC.
