Description:I wanted something like this:
exten => _X./5551234,1,Congestion
exten => _[12345]X.,1,blabla
exten => _[67890]X.,1,blabla

And the only way i can make that work is:

exten => _[12345]X./5551234,1,Congestion
exten => _[67890]X./5551234,1,Congestion
exten => _[12345]X.,1,blabla
exten => _[67890]X.,1,blabla

Of course, my dialplan is much longer than that, not just 2 cases, that's why i'm seeing this as a bug.
I think it should try to match by callerid first and then match by dialed number. Am i wrong?

I think you're misunderstanding a fundamental of how the pattern matching is designed to work in Asterisk.

Asterisk *first* looks at the dialed extension, and tries to find an exact match.  If there's no match, it looks for the best pattern in the current context.  Only *after* the best match is found it check to see if the Caller*ID number matches.

In other words, a Caller*ID number match _does not_ make a pattern have a higher precedence than a more specific pattern without a Caller*ID number match.
