This was probably a miss-use of the system by me as explained by someone 
else off-list, but perhaps it's still a bug.  It ONLY happens with blind 
transfers.  If you use an attended transfer, the behavior works as 
expected.  This is a change from past behavior, but it makes more sense 
to use an attended transfer to the parking location OR the one step park 
feature instead.
