if you used the loopback endpoint to loop around to voicemail or made a looped sip call back to your own box you could xfer it as desired.
bridge to "loopback/app=voicemail:default ${domain_name} ${dialed_extension}"
That will make the vm app run as a channel instead of an inline app.
This is an undocumented feature because it's not well tested so if it doesn't work *shrug* =D

Yes it is a known issue with Polycom phones. Polycom supports a non-standard
transfer method which does not work with FreeSWITCH.
See this article for further details -

I ran into the same problem, disabling
voIpProt.SIP.allowTransferOnProceeding as suggested in that article resolved
the issue for me.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Polycom Consultative Transfer and Voicemail
Hello,
I'm on the latest trunk version (16440) and having an issue with Polycom and
transferring. The dial plan is set up so that unanswered calls go to
voicemail. When I answer a call with a polycom phone and then transfer that
call to another phone, if the other phone doesn't pick up and the voicemail
app starts, then I hit transfer again with the intent of having the caller
leave a voicemail, the call is dropped. If the phone does pick up during
the transfer, it works fine.
I also have an Aastra phone, and when I do the same thing, but from the
Aastra phone, it works as expected. Is this known to be a problem with
Polycom?
Thanks!
Troy
