To be honest, that is the one thing that popped out at me when I first read this thread.
Using rule 8.42, the Line of Sight is BLOCKED if both the spotting and target hex are on DIFFERENT elevations and (second bullet) – one or more slope hexes of the same elevation as the higher unit lies between the two hexes and the slope hex is closer (not equidistant) to the lower unit than the higher one.
In the present example, the one slope hex between the two hexes in question is a same level slope hex and it is equidistant to both hexes.
The second LOS example illustration in the rule book (near rule 8.46 in my copy) shows two similar situations (G-H and G-K). While the book didn't address the G-H LOS, the G-K LOS is specifically permissible in that hex 0908 in the example is equidistant to both hexes.
Peace. Michael
