A bug has been reported in exiqsumm which seems worth of a posted patch
(which also fixes another minor problem). The changelog is as follows:
44. Nasty bug in exiqsumm: the regex to skip already-delivered addresses was
buggy, causing it to skip the first lines of messages whose message ID
ended in 'D'. This would not have bitten before Exim release 4.14, because
message IDs were unlikely to end in 'D' before then. The effect was to have
incorrect size information for certain domains.
