This is sort of the expected behavior (not that it is the correct
behavior).  If the called party does the transfer, Asterisk will use the
account code of the called party for the CDR record (if my analysis is
correct).

It seems you are expecting the account code of the calling party to always
be stored regardless of whether or not the called or calling party does the
transfer.

You may want to try working around this by setting an inherited channel
variable and setting that as the account code in your dialplan.
