UPDATE: Ends up it wasn't a bug at all. Restrictions wasn't the problem either. This was a PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair). First off, the reception phone I was trying to log in with was not yet provisioned (set up in FreePBX, but phone was not plugged in). Thus the dial option would not show.
Then, once I noticed that and provisioned the phone, I was clicking dial from my desk and the reception phone was getting the ring, 300 feet away (I was expecting my phone the ring, stupidly), so I wasn't noticing it was actually working. It just looked like it wasn't responding, but it was waiting for the phone to be picked up.
Perhaps a little indication to pick up the phone, or phone not provisioned would be nice (if that data is accessible to fop2). If not, then at least people will see this forum and slap their foreheads like I did. Cheers!
