Mostly it'd be in MySQL, surely?

Change your MYSQL_Q_ALIASES query not to change the localpart to
postmaster@ for unknown localparts, and then change the MYSQL_Q_BOXNAME
query so that it _does_ do that transformation.

Then the built-in duplicate elimination shouldn't trigger (because the
addresses are still different), but the router should actually end up
dumping all copies of the message into the same mailbox.
