->Assuming that you're not trying to dial back out on the same line, this
should not be problematic.  The AGI originate is not necessarily aware that
it is working in tandem with an existing call.  The "Channelopendidcall" is
the "wrong way" part of this equation.  For example, if the call comes in on
DAHDI/1-1, you can't use DAHDI/1-1 

to open a second call whilst it is active;  you can make a call on DAHDI/1-2
and join the 2 together.

As best as I know, yes this should work. You are actually creating a "new
leg" with the originate, but the net effect is a joined call.
