This is an oversight on my part. The restriction is in fact that you
cannot have two "mail" commands *to the same recipient*. "Vacation" is
just syntactic sugar for a "mail" command with certain default
arguments.
A mail delivery is handled very like any other delivery, with the
receiver as the "address". The central code in Exim for handling
duplicate addresses notices that there are two the same, and discards
the second one of them.
I have made a note to either (a) document this restriction or (b) find a
way of removing it.
