Buffy had a number for him in Spain. It's referenced in the 'Family' episode and it appears that she got a hold of him, but the conversation wasn't stellar. She also stated that she was the one that was suppose to protect Dawn so there's the off chance she and Dawn told him not to come to Joyce's funeral because he might get the idea of taking Dawn with him when he left.
I do agree that Willow and by default Tara, Anya and Xander, kept the status quo for their own selfish needs and desires. I always felt Dawn got the shaft in that summer because she did need to move on, but how do you do that when you have to continue she charade of you sister still being alive.
Though in season six Hank was suppose to call which was why the Buffybot wasn't allowed to answer the phone because they believe Hank would be able to tell the difference - when the Scoobies could not.
