Because it doesn't work! When Exim turns a non-delivered "child" address
into a top-level address because of the one_time feature, it isn't
clever enough to remember that headers were added/deleted for that
address. (Indeed, it is only recently that it became clever enough to
remember an errors_address setting.)

It wouldn't have worked in Exim 3. Perhaps you never noticed?
