Not a DKIM expert, by far, so I might assume something stupid. But a
naive approach to the DKIM-Signature header with the h= option would
suggest the To header is a vital element of the signing.

Well, comparing the headers side-by-side, after adding a bunch of
newlines, flipping back and forth, there is one striking difference.

The one that was NOT whitelisted has a To header like this:

  To: [...], @pop.embarq.synacor.com>, [...]

Note that all addresses pruned above, for both mails, appear to be in
the valid form "bar <f...@example.com>", comma separated, EXCEPT that one
shown. Which is utterly broken.

Some server in the chain broke the To header?
