No, you didn't fill in wrong values, the post-processing of the values went wrong. > * "Other destinations for which mail is accepted" says in the help: > "Please enter a semicolon-separated list of recipient domains" > > This does not work: It is nevertheless correct; it's program code that is wrong. > An easy patch is to change the wording of the debconf template and the > translations.

The actual fix will be a little harder, since older installs might actually still use a colon-separated list. We need to detect whether semicolons or colons were used as separator and generate the appropriately correct replacement value. Unfortuantely, dc_other_hostnames gets special handling in update-exim4.conf, and that special handling goes badly wrong. I'll fix that first thing tomorrow.
