What you are describing is an attended call transfer not call forwarding. Call forwarding is a different feature. >From the behavior you describe, you are using DTMF to initiate the attended transfer. There is an option in features.conf called atxferdropcall that you need to set to yes to have the call not come back to the transferrer.
