I'm using a dialplan entry like yours:
  exten => _*9XXXX,1,Pickup(${EXTEN:2})
and just tested it. Working fine using svn trunk as of yesterday.

Not sure what you're asking. Your example above is "directed call 
pickup", but there is also a more generic call pickup using 
'callgroup=2' and 'pickupgroup=2' in your sip definitions. That approach 
uses *8 or *8# to pickup any ringing phone within the callgroup number 
(eg, 2 in this example).
