What about having the agent do a warm transfer, so that the agent hears the
voicemail greeting instead of the caller. The caller can then be asked if
he would like to leave voicemail for Mr, X. If they want to leave a
message, the agent can re-transfer them to Mr. X's voicemail.

Would mostly stop the endless loop scenario. Are any presence tools in
place so the agents know Mr. X's status before attempting transfer?
