Hello Jim,
Yes, I even heard that some do the inverse, so they pronounce brahma as bramha for some reason.
I guess nobody can claim final knowledge on this matter, but just speculate.
In any case, I will stick to clearly pronouncing the "h" sound when it comes after a vowel, since I think it is the right way, because as I said my native language is "harsh" in that aspect, each letter/sound is short and sharp ( and that seems to be the way of pali as well), so I believe that native english speakers ( because of their language ) tend to pronounce the pali words the english way kind of, and not the clear and to the point way.
