I think the logic is botched in a normal bridged call.  You cannot hang up a 
call and expect one party to continue interact with the sytem, because 
Asterisk is not a party.

But I imagine it might be possible if you bring both parties into a 
conference, then use * to disconnect the one you want to rid, and let the 
other party press more buttons.

Hope this helps.
