We're friends, right? Regardless, I appreciate your reading the
documentation.

This is is not a Postfix limitation, it is a Milter protocol limitation.
Enough information is exchanged during option negotiation to fast-forward
a milter which only rewrites recipients based on RCPT TO to EOB
immediately, and pass those rewrites on to other chained milters. I wrote
about this here at the time I implemented milters and you told me to go
away.
Most milter executor implementations behave this way so you have herd
immunity, sure. This is not the only limitation with using milters with
Postfix for this use case (which is the context).
There is no mailing list for Trualias, although I'll answer emails within
reason; however the proper thing to do would be to open an issue. Maybe
some suggested language addressing the assocated issues
(local_recipient_maps), you know, the specifics of the use case.
Conversely http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html doesn't
mention that it doesn't apply to milter recipient rewrites.
Thanks again for reading the documentation...
