But not if the course reversal is a hold right?

Nope, the 480 does exactly one turn around the hold (unless you
press SUSP then it sits there and goes around until you release it).

The G1000 goes into
suspend mode, I seem to rememeber the 430 doing the same. Unless there
is somethign new in the 480.

Not NEW, different. The 480 remember is not originally a Garmin box.
It is far superior in it's user interface for IFR in my opinion.

Further, unlike the 430/530, it doesn't need to be any button pushing
to start sequencing the missed approach. Once you fly it passed
the MAP it automatically sequences into the missed sequence (it
gets authority for this in that it has a richer set of waypoints
on the missed sequence than just the location of the holding point).
