I missed the patch... Could you send it to me and I can comment on
that :)

Could you share the log-lines (in private, won't disclose them).

The culprit COULD be the Postfix settings:
local_header_rewrite_clients
remote_header_rewrite_domain

Their defaults are:
local_header_rewrite_clients = permit_inet_interfaces
remote_header_rewrite_domain =

Personally, I'm using
local_header_rewrite_clients =
remote_header_rewrite_domain =
(never ever rewrite)
