That would be a bug in the nagios package. Please file it.

I cannot reproduce this, on my test system (configured identically to
yours), the message is rejected as "unrouteable":

[7/7]mh@lefler[chroot sid]:~$ /usr/sbin/exim4 -bt foo@localhost.localdomain
R: system_aliases for foo@localhost.localdomain
foo@localhost.localdomain is undeliverable
[8/8]mh@lefler[chroot sid]:~$

Can you please give the output of exim -bt
nagios-admin@localhost.localdomain on your system, and preferably also
exim -d -bt nagios-admin@localhost.localdomain? Please verify that no
private data is included in the debug output.

Greetings
Marc
