Well, I took a break to work on other things for a while, and then
managed to get this to work. The key was to *single* quote the hairy if
expansion:
mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
[...]
Yes, I know I could use \N...\N, but so far the same transport works
with Exim 3 and 4, and the two doubled backslashes are not so painful.
If anyone is using Mailman 2.1 on Exim 3, I'd like to know if this
works. It does for me with Exim 4, but you never know.
