It is a standard manouver but often gets screwed up by the fact that an individual crew member would rarely perform one in usual line flying. In the sim the go-around is usually practised from minimums - in practice on the line it is more akin to a broken off approach than a full, balls-out go around, and as there is no separate procedure for this, problems sometimes occur.

Our company insists on an ASR (wisely, IMHO) for every go-around - it produces a culture of reporting as mentioned above, and those events that do cause problems can be retrained properly in the sim at the bloke's next check.
