The bug reporter delivered debug output of a successful routing
attempt, which of course didn't show any hints for the failure.

The bug reporter, however, uses a locally tailored
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf and delivers via ~/.forward and a pipe to
procmail.

This is sufficiently different from our standard setup that I dare to
say that - should this behavior indeed show to be a bug -

(a) the Debian exim4 packages using their default configuration are
    most probably not affected and
(b) the issue either is a .forward, pipe and/or procmail issue and would
    not occur if exim's own delivery methods were used.

Anyway, I fail to see where a delivery failure to a maildir can result
in the error "unrouteable address", which at least sounds like a
routing issue.

Greetings
Marc
