I ended up just commenting out a single line in one of the files of my
squirrelmail plugin. Luckily, there were only ~25 users with vacation
messages (out of ~10,000!), so it wasn't too bad to manually fix.

I don't need it anymore now, but maybe an option such as
"ignore_user_pipes" for the forward file router would be a useful wishlist
entry for others at some point?
