I don't have such a hook (or any actual solution either), sorry.  But it
occurred to me that maybe another way to attack the problem is to change
the completion so that TAB completes to foo.h.in directly without
stopping at foo.h.  Obviously, that depends on whether completion is
involved in finding foo.h.
