Indeed. If you want an incoming address to be "properly" delivered to
two different "child" addresses (or lists), "unseen" is not really the right
way to do it.
In fact, you don't need two different directors. You could use a
smartuser director with an option something like this:
new_address = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases1}{$value,}}\
${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases2}{$value}\
{${if !eq{$value}{}{}fail}}

This $value contains the result of the *first* lookup at this point
(since it appears in the string that is used when the second lookup
fails). What this is saying is "if second lookup fails, fail if the
first lookup also failed".
I have not tested this, but I think it should work.
