Is this something simple like you haven't changed the default aliasing
router? By default, the system_aliases router looks up only the local
part, not the whole address as you have it above. Given that you *have*
set up an appropriate router, your expectation above is correct.

Run a test using -d and -bt to see why it is doing what it is doing.
