We cannot really say SA's autodetection is broken, because SA is designed

a Received: header, as that is the responsibility of the MTA itself. But a
milter using SA *can* be said to be broken if it's not proving SA
with the required post-SMTP view of things. Instead of patching SA, or
trying to "fix" it even, any milter using SA should simply DTRT (Do The
Right Thing): which is: add a pseudo Received: header before handing it
over to SA.
You'all are way behind the boat. We've already patched it to support
the undocumented requirement. That's not an issue.
Perhaps SA being focused on "post-SMTP" is the problem here. Why is
this the focus? In the modern world, you want to reject during SMTP not
send backscatter to the poor folks whose e-mail got forged.
Frankly, a milter environment is the only possible right way to run SA.
So why the constant comments as if this is some one-off weird config?
Frankly, anyone who considers the way they do things to be "the only
possible right way" is in danger of being Just Plain Wrong.
