As for robust alternatives, I think that a router chain in the
original config

    todestination1:redirect -> router11:manualroute


can be changed to direct transport call todestination1:manualroute,
without use of "redirect_router".

However, the question remains why Exim drops copy of mail as
duplicated. I suspect that Exim does not distinguish cases of
mail reinjection to the beginnig of router chain and jump with
redirect_router. Ideally, each router should collect a list
of accepted addresses to remove duplicates.
