Ahah, that was my problem. I didn't realize I needed quotes inside.
The transport now works, thanks, and this one doesn't set use_shell to avoid
all the fun exploits.
I'm pasting it here in case there is a reason to use it over the BSMTP one.

# Spam Assassin
spamcheck:
    driver = pipe
    command = /usr/sbin/exim -i -oMr spam-scanned -f "${if eq {${sender_address}}{} {mailer-daemon} {${sender_address}} }" -- ${local_part}
    transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -p 784
    home_directory = "/etc/mail/spamassassin"
    current_directory = "/etc/mail/spamassassin"
    # must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way back in!
    user = mail
    group = mail
    log_output = true
    return_fail_output = true

Double bingo. I just hate myself for not having found this.
I was hoping that errors_to would only redirect errors happening inside of
the exim director/transport (return_fail_output and such), but after reading
the spec, it actually sets the envelope from, not quite sure why.

Thank you for this very good guess, now both directors seem to work fine.
I'm not certain that the BSMTP one is better, but I'll use that for now.

The only problem I can see with this setup is that exim -bt will now always
give me spamcheck_director, but I may be able to solve this once I switch
that system to exim 4 and do spamassassin at SMTP time in the ACLs

Best,
Marc
