Your expectation is entirely correct.

I tried this exact example (except that I had to add "search_type=lsearch"
to the second director).

This did not happen for me. The -d9 output was:
address local-ph10@???
local_part=local-ph10 domain=xoanon.csi.cam.ac.uk local=1

I was trying this with the latest code, but I don't think there has been
any change in that area recently.
So: What is different between your setup and mine??
