yes, thats an asterisk issue.
There has been some discussion on the asterisk-dev mailing list about
this, but it has not yet resulted in a change.

Actually the "Status" action behaves kinda better than the actions for
queues and agents. It sends a number of StatusEvents (one for each
channel) and finally a StatusCompleteEvent. The completion event is
missing for queues and the like so you never know if it is really done.

With asterisk-java you can use the DefaultAsteriskManager and its
getChannels() method to get an up to date list of all channels. The
DefaultAsteriskManager handles all the Status event stuff and also the
events that indicate changes of an active channel like NewExtenEvent or
HangupEvent.
Have a look at it if you like to.
