i think i have similar problem after upgraded from 1.4.x to 1.6.2.17.
(originally upgraded to 1.8.3.2 unfortunately there were other more
pressing problems that forced me to downgraded it to 1.6.2.17)
i have a wanpipe device with 2 channels uses PRI signalling to PSTN &
the other 2 uses FXO signalling (connect to Rhino FXS channel bank).
the PRI part works fine but the FXO channels are having DTMF digits
skipped. i'm still trying to find out what's wrong with it.

Hello,
I installed Asterisk 1.6.2.17.3 ( latest as of yesterday ) and had multiple
problems with DTMF.
I have two machines, we'll call them asterisk and asterisk-pri. Asterisk does 
IVR
and asterisk-pri has a PRI card in it and connects to the PSTN. The two servers
communicate via SIP with RFC2833.
I setup logger.conf on both machines to display DTMF to the console. Both are
built from source.
Asterisk : spandsp, dahdi, asterisk.
Asterisk-pri : spandsp, libpri, dahdi, asterisk wanpipe
I eliminated AGI, hard phones, network et al by setting up this extension :
exten => 22,1,Dial(SIP/[email protected],30,D(132412983
<mailto:SIP/[email protected],30,D(132412983>#))
in default.
The only other non default setting is in sip.conf I added a outboundproxy ( 
which
does NOT do RTP, only SIP ).
I called asterisk from my hard phone ( gxp2000 ) by dialing 22.
I see the console DTMF messages indicating the DTMF was sent or received. ( I
forgot to keep this output ).
I than watch the console DTMF output on asterisk-pri and it showed about half 
the
DTMFs. The pager that was called showed the DTMFs that appeared on the
asterisk-pri console.
So somewhere between the two machines, the DTMFs have disappeared. So I ran
TCPDump on asterisk and saw that close to half of the DTMF events were never 
sent.
tcpdump -i eth0 -n -s 0 dst asterisk-pri-ip -vvv -w ~/dtmf.pcap
I imported the file into wireshark on my local machine and confirmed that the 
dump
almost matches what I saw on asterisk-pri.
So, problem 1 : Asterisk is not sending all the DTMFs to asterisk-pri.
I compared the packet scan to what I saw on asterisk-pri and noticed that 
between
1 and 3 dtmfs were missing.
Problem 2 : Asterisk-pri loses some received DTMFs.
I also noticed that some of the DTMFs coming out of asterisk had the wrong Event
Duration. I had one DTMF with a duration of about 58000 ( I believe that's 58
seconds ) but I only pressed the button for like 1/3 of a second.
What I do not understand is that I in my final test last night was using 
asterisk
1.6 current with centos ( os that asterisk is developed on from my 
understanding )
with all default settings ( excluding logger.conf, dialplan and outboundproxy )
and I am having problems with the DTMF.
Both servers were installed with CentOS 5.5 and were updated last night, after
which I reinstalled asterisk. This did not resolve the issue.
I am at wit's end and do not know where to go from here. I would really 
appreciate
it if someone could give me some pointers on where to go next, what additionnal
debugging steps I should perform. I would also really appreciate if someone 
could
propose a solution.
Please help!
