Absolutely right. The documentation says:
The filter's standard output is read and written to the message's
destination. The filter can perform any transformations it likes, but of
course should take care not to break RFC 822 syntax.
The assumption is that what the filter outputs is a valid message,
including the terminating newline. Exim makes no check on what it gets
back; it is up to you to get it right.
