For  blind transfers:

Catch the new call in the TRANSFER_CONTEXT, play a beep and
go ahead.

Attended transfers are harder, you're right. There's obviously no
dialplan execution at time of transfer. I am a bit afraid of duplicating
too much code of the PBX transfer in res_features into chan_sip and
building my own PBX in the SIP channel, so I am very hesitant for
this type of patches...

I guess I will have to revisit this bug. Thanks for the correction
and the reminder.
