I need to go get some sleep, so this is only a very tentative analysis:

Setting errors_to inhibits freezing (which is obvious, since freezing is for
mails with nowhere to go to, but once you set an address, there's no need to
freeze.

The af_ignore_error flag is set for errors where the sender address (*not*
errors_to) is <> and the message is older than ignore_bounce_errors_after.

It looks as though the documentation claiming that ignore_bounce_errors_after
only applies to frozen messages is wrong, since once errors_to is set, the
messages don't get frozen.

Then, because the af_ignore_error flag is set, we don't send an error bounce.

Someone else needs to take a look at deliver.c and let me know how dumb I'm
being in my reading.
