If you get an answer for this please post it here on forum as I and at least one other I've talked to have this same problem. I found it was only a problem from external calls though not internally.

Dang it. Thanks. Blindly trusting the voip-wiki is bad.... "When using the zero '0' and star '*' it's important to note that the context you placed the application voicemail in is irrelvant..."

I was able to get pressing '0' while in voicemail to work in a simple
test case, but was unable in a more complicated scenario. Here's a stripped
down, sanitized version of that complex scenario...
[start] ; phones start here
include => some_contexts
include => some_more_contexts
include => route
[route]
; When findme/follome is finished, the script dials
Local/${EXTEN}global_vmdeposit for vm deposit
exten => _[*0123456789].,n,AGI(ipt/originator.py)
[global_vmdeposit]
exten => _[sub].,1,Answer
exten => _[sub].,2,Wait,1
exten => _[sub].,3,Voicemail(${EXTEN}@voicemail)
I tried putting the 'o' extension in all three contexts there and it
worked in none of them. I don't know if dialling Local is screwing it up, or
if because we dialled Local from an AGI script, or maybe because of the includes
or what...
