How about changing to a smartuser director? Something like (untested):
system_aliases:
driver = smartuser
suffix = "+*"
suffix_optional = yes
new_address = ${lookup{$local_part} lsearch* {/etc/aliases} {$value${if def:local_part_suffix {+$local_part_suffix}{}}}fail}
Unless I just messed something up, that should be equivalent to the
aliasfile director, but passing through the suffix for the subsequent
director-handling.
