This is strange, it should certainly work in the configuration you

The problem arises from the requirement to pass the CID datastream to
all extensions before the incoming line rings - it's technically a
bit involved and the requirement is specific to the UK market. AFAIK
there are no 2+8 analogue PBXs that pass CID to extensions - although
there are a couple of 1+4 that do.
