As an IG player, I'd have to agree that you need LoS. They can already shoot around corners and ignore cover, it would be silly to allow them to shoot blindly down corridors without seeing something to shoot at. Imagine a solid obstacle/terrain piece that ends closer than 12" to the Hellhound and there is a squad behind it. By the no LoS argument, you could shoot through (over, around, whatever) the obstacle/terrain. I have some Hellhounds, and this does little to change their effectiveness I find. You can still roll up until you see only one model of a unit at the edge of a building and have at them.
