Is it really that overwhelmingly difficult to have whatever configures
your bounce handler look in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains to see
what prefix to strip off the local part of the VERP address?  I
suspect either of us could do it in about four lines of perl.

It's true, qmail doesn't work the way you might first have guessed it
does.  That doesn't mean it's wrong.
