i completely fail to see the problem.

of course,

collapsed:~$ exim -bP ignore_bounce_errors_after
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 0s
collapsed:~$

i suspect the behaviour you are observing is coming from hosts that
have ignore_bounce_errors set to anything not zero, and have
corresponding auto thawing and retrying policies. this is a
configuration issue (the word "error" was not used on purpose), and
has nothing to do with exim, except for exim providing a(nother) rope
one can hang thyself on, if one so wishes.

nothing is wrong here.
