... but his use case was in an ACL. Distinct from "being routed"
(in all but the most abstruse cases).

I've not checked the code paths, and it's certainly confusing to have
the variable content change underneath you... but I suspect it does,
and the docs are more likely correct as far as they go. The bullet
points detailing the "other circumstances" could possibly be expanded to
point out that lowercasing has not yet been done.
Please raise a bug (
http://bugs.exim.org) if you care enough, so this
does not get forgotten.
