This will only work as long as nobody uses no, false or 0 as localpart.
To be fail-safe, add {Yes}{No}. Same in your hosteduser router.

But you don't need condition at all. If the data query result is empty,
the router declines.

I had this problem, too (with a vmail-sql setup). The workaround then
was to create a mailbox with a different name and forward to this
mailbox and the other address. A little cumbersome, but works.

Another (probably better) way is to check in the data query of the
forwarding router if there is a mailbox with the same name and add the
mailbox address in this case, like

hostedalias:
...
data = ${lookup ...alias... {$value ${lookup ... mailbox... {, $value}}}}

ok, looks a little ugly. So you could add the second lookup as condition
to the unseen option itself, like

hostedalias:
...
unseen = ${lookup ...is this also a mailbox?... {yes}{no}}

Personally I don't like the unseen option much, but it may be better in
your case.
