Hmm. I wonder - do you think that by using "$h_to:" it's expanding your example ("'Steven Nikkel'" <steven_nikkel@???>) getting "" and then trying to parse the next bit ('Steven) as a filter condition ?
What happens if you don't use "$h_to:" but just use $h_to: ? Another option that might be worth trying is to use an expansion item (${sg or ${tr perhaps) to strip out " characters from the to header.
