You don't say where it is but if these two zones are close together the situation you describe is probably a frequent occurence hence the two ATC units will probably have agreed procedures using a 'Letter of Agreement'; ATC units aren't stupid after all and anything to 'smooth' a situation like this will have been thought of.
I would find it difficult to imagine the situation has never occured before.
