I personally would still strip any Reply-To: with an internal domain in
it - fixing it is hard work and liable to unexpected results, stripping
it is easy. If people want Reply-To: then they should use valid
addresses in them.

In general, a setup that mangles email addresses in headers is already
skipping through a mine field. Just think about header signing...
