Who built it? What is the provenance of the sourcecode?

Definitely a bug; you should not be able to induce this by doing
something odd in a .forward.

For debugging it, it'd help if you could provide the matching .forward
rule (if there is indeed one), and even more if you could get a coredump.

The "failure to transfer data" log is a follow-on resulting from
the transport process dying (and not providing data) not ignore that.

Is the message successfully delivered on a subsequent queue-run
(grep the log for the message ID)? I see several failed tries in
the log extract you gave.

If not, and the message is still queued, please try forcing a delivery
with debug enabled ("exim -d+all -M 1pwUHO-0005xx-1O 2>&1 | tee debuglog")
