Thanks, I was misguided by
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Variables which didn't mention
this.

I guess there is no way to achieve what I want to do with the stable
version? I.e. pass call-specific variables when dialling through a Local
channel. Now I can only see the original Caller ID and the destination
extension, but not the "other" destination extension of the forked call,
which might suffice for my purposes.
