I don't think that 2H should be forcing to 3NT.
If it is forcing to 3NT, I don't think that North has a hand to justify that action.

But for the fact that GIB will not rebid 1N with a singleton in responder's suit, we could have had a Heart fit, and in a F2F game I would have expected 2H to be natural.
