I think I've seen the same problem with 1.4 from svn. Can't confirm it but based on
your e-mail I will try with an old version and see if there's any difference. 

Thanks for e-mailing that, you woke me up. I spent almost an hour in a very busy
system trying to find the second call leg of an AMI originate yesterday.

The CLI originate works just fine.

If you can confirm that it works in one version of 1.4 and not in 1.4.29, then please open
a bug report on issues.asterisk.org
