Does this extract from section 21.1 of the manual explain what you are
seeing?
Processing of the "prefix" and "suffix" options does not happen until after
the check of "local_parts" is done, so the local part that is checked at that
stage is the full local part. If you want to select a director based on a
partial local part, you can use a regular expression, or make use of the
"condition" option to do more complicated processing (such as looking up a
prefix-stripped local part in a file).
