Well, there are states and flags. MUTE is a flag, not a state. Maybe we should implement PROGRESS as a flag, since it's in the RING or RINGING state. Implementing a new state would be hard, as you say, but a flag might be easier. 

I haven't verified that all parts of the code filter out the flags though. How sure are we about the flags vs states in ast_channel_state ?
