It appears that that the transfer functionality in asterisk uses the 
context that the extension uses for dialing out to determine dialing 
protocol for the transfer.

I stuck a exten=>23,1,Playback(tt-weasels) in my extensions' context and 
tested it.

I know it makes perfect sense that the context a particular exten uses 
would be the same one that transferring used, but I didn't think of it 
still.
