Okay, if that's the way it has to be for now, that's fine.
And, woohoo! - it works!  Well, at least the Invite now goes
to my other phone, and the Ringing and OK get forwarded
from the proxy, so now I can start debugging.  ;-)

Just as a point of discussion, so I can learn more about SIP:
The registration with the @gary.net in the contact *should*
be allowed, right?  Or should it be @ endpointname.gary.net ?
That is, where endpointname has it's own A record in DNS
with the unique IP address of the phone ?  Would that work
with the current partysip code?  If not:

As I started trying to figure out some of the code, it looks
to me as if part of the solution is to have the
cb_ls_sfull_search_location(), after the check
if(0 == psp_core_is_responsible_for_this_request_uri() )
switch to UAS_MODE, so the Invite gets handled locally,
instead of being passed to sfp which wants to 'forward'
it to another server (which is what it's doing by default
now).  But I don't know enough about how it all works to
offer a complete fix.  Does this make any sense, or am I
trying to jump in too soon?  :)
