I think your scenario is according to the following section of rfc 3311:


for the callee
      o  If the UPDATE is being sent before the completion of the INVITE
         transaction, and the initial INVITE contained an offer, the
         UPDATE cannot be sent with an offer unless the callee has
         generated an answer in a reliable provisional response, has
         received a PRACK for that reliable provisional response, has
         not received any requests (PRACK or UPDATE) with offers that it
         has not answered, and has not sent any UPDATE requests
         containing offers that have not been answered.

Please check the example call flow section of the rfc. If 183 is RPR then
you should not get 491 here. Here is another snippet:

It is important
   to note that a reliable provisional response will always create an
   early dialog at the UAC.  Creation of this dialog is necessary in
   order to receive UPDATE requests from the callee.


Thanks,
