Smart.  Why didn't I think about it?  But I think I'd actually
use:
      ${lc:${domain:$h_Message-Id:}} ends ".local.domain"

In the documentation about filters, I did not find any hint what
the correct behavior should be. It seems to me that right after
"headers remove", the removed headers become unavailable.

Yup, they are preserved there.
