That is indeed illegal, but are you sure it isn't actually
To: 12345: my name <my_name@???>;
Note the final semicolon. That syntax is legal. It's "group syntax".

Unfortunately, foranyaddress does not understand "group syntax". It just
expects to find a single list of addresses. This is clearly a deficiency
in foranyaddress. I will put this on a wish list.

That worked for me when I tried with a valid group-syntax header. But I
also translated ; to comma.
