A plausible work-around would be the equivalent of that described for
null-client configurations in:

    http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html#quick


    /etc/postfix/generic:
        # The smarthost supports "+" addressing (recipient_delimiter = +).
        # Mail from "root" exposes the origin host, without replies
        # and bounces going back to the same host.
        #
        # On clustered MTAs this file is typically machine-built from
        # a template file. The build process expands the template into
        # "mtaadmin+root=mta1"
        #
        root        mtaadmin+root=mta1


but you could do this for all users, instead of just "root". Tagging
the mail origin, without using a fake domain. Or perhaps (somewhat
likely) it is only "root" and the like that you need this for, with mail
from interactive users not needing any explicit tagging with the source
host...
