[Answering myself, for the archives:]

 I since looked at the linux source and found it does indeed special-case
the 0 as msn in the kernel when dialing out: it simply doesnt send a msn
in that case.  Looking at i4b's i4b_l3_tx_setup() i see it already
has a check for the source msn being empty, in which case it doesnt
send one (IEI_CALLINGPN), that code path was just never taken because
isdnd insists on getting a source msn configured (local-phone-dialout).

 So, i special-cased the 0 as in linux,

 	 * NOTE: the selection of a bearer capability by a B L1

and, now i can indeed dial out!

 I'll leave it to others to decide if this is the way it
should be done (capi then still needs to be patched similarly)
or if isdnd should be changed instead to simply accept no
local-phone-dialout configured...  At least this should help
the next person trying to dial out without knowing what to
put in for the local msn.
