IIRC this issue is fixed in the 2.2 branch.
Workaround: Put the rules into /.htaccess instead of /othersite/.htaccess with
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^othersite/?(.*)$ http://<myotherwebsite>.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But anyway: Unless you're using other RewriteRules which may conflict
with the Redirect directives provided by mod_alias, use mod_alias for
such a simple redirection instead of mod_rewrite:
Redirect 301 /othersite http://<myotherwebsite>.com
