When we get a message that fails header check, we get exim complaining in 
paniclog about tainted string (tls connection is also prematurely terminated in 
such case judging from e.g. msmtp's output, although the mail gets delivered) - 
removing $acl_verify_message fixes this - but why would this string be 
considered tainted ?

Because it contains data supplied by a potential attacker.
The issue is why it is being expanded.

address: '>\n may not follow "'[email protected]'" <'[email protected]: failing address in "To:" 
header is: "'[email protected]'" <'[email protected]'>]. Please fix it.' in expansion

This is the "response message" part of the fakereject control.  It's being 
expanded once,
correctly, to give the string we see in that paniclog line.  The complaint is 
that we're
trying to expand it again.  I'm failing to find in the code where that might 
happen,
unfortunately.
