That is not working for me either.

same 
=>n,Dial(${TOLL}/${MMCUSTOMER_NUMBER},,b(dial-to-customer-sub^s^1^fred^$george^$arrrgh)) 


output is

-- Executing [s at dial-to-customer:8] Dial("SIP/mlcm800-00000039", 
"SIP/voipms/9725232703,,b(dial-to-customer-sub^s^1^fred^$george^$arrrgh)") 
in new stack
-- SIP/voipms-0000003a Internal Gosub(dial-to-customer-sub,s,1) start
-- Executing [s at dial-to-customer-sub:2] Verbose("SIP/voipms-0000003a", 
"2, number  interface  name  ") in new stack


PS - a link from the Dial page to the Pre-Dial Hanlders page would be 
useful.
