Google Voice doesn't create 406 #'s between GVoice users?

Sorry for the confusing title, i'm not sure how to sum this up.

A long time ago, there were two experiments i wanted to try:

The latter, was simple. The 406 numbers won't work with any non-gvoice numbers. I haven't tested to see if they work differently with different gvoice users.

The main experiment was to see how Google would create a 406 number for a Google Voice number. One would expect it to do so just like any other number, but for some reason, just having tried it now, the forwarded SMS says it's from the actual number, instead of a 406 number.

Is this a bug specific to this scenario? Is there some setting to enable/disable the use of 406 numbers?
