I've not specifically seen this issue with other versions of Asterisk 
but then I've never tried to replicate it.  The only time I've seen this 
with 1.8.5 is when I've purposely replicated it after reading your post.

I have had much, much worse problems with pickup in previous versions of 
1.8 and in the 1.6 branch where pickup will occasionally lock chan_sip 
altogether.  This is a known issue and is in Jira and is fixed in 1.8.5.

This issue doesn't really seem to cause any problems other than some 
stuck SIP channels.  It's in Jira too:

https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-18225

For the minute I can live with this and a nightly cron job to restart 
Asterisk to drop the stuck channels.  Bit of a bodge I know but it works 
till someone fixes the issue.

cheers,
Paul.
