I agree that the A party has a right to be annoyed at the loss of credit, but this has been tradition within telco's for as long as i can remember, as a call channel costs significantly more bandwidth than signaling
The only time you don't lose credit (or get billed in traditional terms) is when the announcement shelf is contained within the same network as the A party.
Why do you think that providers tend to offer free voicemail, to ensure every call is connected and further more get the call in the other direction
It is however an interesting way of accruing free credits on the network.
Food for thought

I just noticed another interesting problem: I checked that using Congestion I can appropriately reject an incoming bellster call and that another route is used (on extension +331, France, Paris). However, the second route tried by bellster ended up with "This is 9:25 local time, calls are only permitted from ... to ...". It means that the remote asterisk accepted the call to play the message, instead of using Congestion to use another route or fail. I "lost" one credit without having the call placed, but what is more important is that no other route has been tried, and that my PBX thinks that the call succeedeed and will not try an alternative route such a Zap line.
The problematic route is 179.
