When Asterisk dial the Cell phone, it goes out on the ZAP channel
(Sangoma A200D), so as soon as it hit that channel, the call is
considered answered even if the cell phone never actually pickup the
call. I didn't play with the "followme" module myself but that is what
I suspect is happening. Just watch the console and you should see
something like "Zap/1-1 answered ..."

That sound probably correct. Take a look at 2.2 beta2. You can choose to require confirmation on external numbers (press 1 to accept, 2 to decline). That way it is not treated as answered. It works very very well and has some additional enhancements.
