counter := intr64(N)
release := make(chan struct{})

...
for i := 0; i < N; i ++ {
  h.Handle(func() {
      <-release
      atomic.AddInt64(&counter, -1)
  })
}
...

go func(){
    time.Sleep(time.Millisecond) // so we would certainly hit h.Close, 
before we continue
    for i := 0; i < N; i++ { release <- struct{}{}; 
time.Sleep(time.Millisecond) }
    // alternatively use runtime.Gosched() instead of Sleep
}()

h.Close()

if atomic.LoadInt64(&counter) > 0 {
    // fail
}

It's not completely fool-proof, but should work well enough in practice.
