No problems here with making changes to indications.conf and then doing a
"reload" on the console, the changes then take effect. 

My testing involves calling from a SIP handset to a dummy extension setup to
answer and playback the tones I want to check.

; Test Australian ringing tones - indications
exten => 906,1,Answer
exten => 906,2,Wait(1)
exten => 906,3,Playtones(ring)
exten => 906,4,Wait(12)
exten => 906,5,Playtones(busy)
exten => 906,6,Wait(5)
exten => 906,7,Hangup

It sounds like you must have FXS extensions your trying to test the
indications on? I don't have an FXS card in my machine to test with, so I'm
not sure how it works, but it should still be the same, as a reload
definitely re-reads the indications.conf configuration.
