I can honestly say, I'm not "expecting" an airliner to do anything if they call they're going around besides climb on runway heading, until they're 400' AGL. I'll probably leave you on RH unless I have a good traffic reason to move you elsewhere - departures, pattern traffic, etc. My first call is going to be "climb and maintain xxx, fly runway heading/assigned heading. Our altitude is *always* going to be above the MVA (well, it should be, because you shouldn't be assigning an IFR an altitude below the MVA), so as an airliner, the 1500 thing is probably more of a formality/paper stop than anything, until you get further instructions.
Most likely, I'm going to ship you back to approach for re-sequence, unless there isn't another plane for 30 miles and I can afford you the space to go out to the FAF for the RNAV or ILS on your own nav (Even though you're on a "visual approach). Now, with the props that fly IFR - they'll probably stay with me in the pattern 9/10 times, where an airliner is probably going to go back to approach 9/10 times.
