OK, with the additional information you gave (including the contents
of the spool file), I think that you have indeed found a bug.

Exim should delete the original recipient from the recipient list if
the system filter has set up a significant delivery and the filter
completed successfully, no matter if the delivery succeeds or not.

Maybe you should file the bug into the bugzilla system.
