This may be another instance of the address_retry_include_sender bug,
introduded in 4.64 and fixed in CVS:

PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when address_retry_include_sender
      was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete the retry
      item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is now
      fixed.
