Yes, it seems bug is triggered by chain longer then one alias, and if
dnslookup router is encountered in router chain. Here is my example:

# host email.tedisk.ru.
email.tedisk.ru is an alias for email.protva.ru.
email.protva.ru is an alias for email.ascit.ru.
email.ascit.ru is an alias for tedisk.ru.
tedisk.ru has address 176.32.35.178
tedisk.ru mail is handled by 10 mx2.tedisk.ru.
tedisk.ru mail is handled by 20 mx3.tedisk.ru.

# exim4 -bt dummy@???
...
dummy@???
    <-- dummy@???
  router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp
  host mx2.tedisk.ru [176.32.35.178] MX=10
  host mx3.tedisk.ru [45.144.2.235]  MX=20
