There aren't.

Unfortunately not, since rewrites match the "working" parts of
addresses, not the comment parts.

Quite. However, note that by default, Exim does not check header lines.
This problem was detected because the check was explicitly turned on.
You *could* perhaps kludge your way round this by (a) disabling the
check and (b) doing amazing things with headers in a system filter,
along the lines of
if <a test of the To: header for invalid syntax> then
headers add "Old-to: $h_to:"
headers remove "to"
headers add "To: <with the new version, maybe referencing $h_old-to:>
headers remove "Old-to"
endif
But this is masochism.
