${EXTEN} will always return the current executing extension. I don't 
think it's possible to reassign it via a Set (someone please correct me 
if I'm wrong). The only way is via a Goto.

Isn't this the same as?
[from-sip-trunk-A]
exten  => _1234XXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=44${CALLERID(num)})
exten  => _1234XXXX,n,Goto(incoming-calls, 44${EXTEN},1)

Now, if you have
[incoming-calls]
exten => _X.,1,Set(MYDNIS=${EXTEN}_)

You should see that MYDNIS will be 441234XXXX.

Cheers.
