No, they don't get put on hold (that has a very specific meaning to OmniFocus, and is not likely to be what you are doing, so let's not confuse the discussion with sloppy terminology), but you would not encounter him and so might not be checking that context. Put a due date on that task to ask the boss about XYZ, you'll see the deadline approaching when you look at your list of upcoming due items, and know that you better do something, like email or express moose courier, right?
