This behaviour hasn't changed significantly between the 3 year old version
you are running, and the current version (4.54).
The reason that this happens is that the "unseen deliver" tells the filter
to add this address to the delivery list, not to "deliver it right now".
When you come to deliver the message, all of the header processing happens,
and then the message gets delivered to its recipients.
The kind of processing you are talking about is better done as a more final
delivery process, which could perhaps inject the new messages into the mail
subsystem.
