Why don't you put the accept router first, with unseen, and then have
the redirect router second? Does that help?

The traditional "accept and redirect" is the same as "keep a copy in my
mailbox and forward another copy somewhere else", which you can of
course do with redirect:

data = $local_part@$domain, otherlocalpart@otherdomain

The way to make "redirect use a transport" is indeed to make it
redirect, and then use redirect_router to point it at an (otherwise
inaccessible) accept router that sends the address to the transport.

You are not the only who bends Exim in strange ways.
