Here's part of the log for this procedure

[2011-08-02 13:47:13] VERBOSE[6475] rtp_engine.c:     -- Locally bridging SIP/A-00000049 and SIP/B-0000004a
[2011-08-02 13:47:20] VERBOSE[6475] rtp_engine.c:     -- Locally bridging SIP/inbound-00000047 and SIP/B-0000004a
[2011-08-02 13:47:20] VERBOSE[6463] pbx.c:   == Spawn extension (inbound, s, 4) exited non-zero on 'SIP/A-00000049<ZOMBIE>'
[2011-08-02 13:47:20] VERBOSE[6464] app_mixmonitor.c:   == MixMonitor close filestream
[2011-08-02 13:47:26] VERBOSE[6475] app_macro.c:   == Spawn extension (macro-stdexten, s, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/inbound-00000047' in macro 'stdexten'
[2011-08-02 13:47:26] VERBOSE[6475] pbx.c:   == Spawn extension (local, B, 1) exited non-zero on 'SIP/inbound-00000047'
[2011-08-02 13:47:26] VERBOSE[6464] app_mixmonitor.c:   == End MixMonitor Recording SIP/inbound-00000047

Obviously, I've obscured some of the more sensitive details in there

The thing to notice here though is that MixMonitor closes the filestream
when I hit the transfer button but actually Ends the recording 6 seconds
later when the whole call was ended.

This seems like inconsistent behaviour and more like an unintentional
consequence of changes rather than intended behaviour, i.e. why would
you close the filestream yet not end the recording?
