cyrus_destination_recipient_limit = 1
That cuases postfix to send messages to Cyrus one at a time (highly inefficient, I'm sure). This worked... However, it certainly doesn't solve the following issue -- I have no idea WTF LMTP is/does, nor how to configure it. No documentation I have looked at yet has said anything about it. Could it possibly have anything to do at all with the fact that my aliases do not work? I did a "postconf |grep lmtp", and this is what it gave me...
lmtp_cache_connection = yes
lmtp_connect_timeout = 0s
lmtp_data_done_timeout = 600s
lmtp_data_init_timeout = 120s
lmtp_data_xfer_timeout = 180s
lmtp_lhlo_timeout = 300s
lmtp_mail_timeout = 300s
lmtp_quit_timeout = 300s
lmtp_rcpt_timeout = 300s
lmtp_rset_timeout = 300s
lmtp_sasl_auth_enable = no
lmtp_sasl_password_maps =
lmtp_sasl_security_options = noplaintext, noanonymous
lmtp_skip_quit_response = no
lmtp_tcp_port = 24
Also, I noticed that there is an 'lmtpd' executable in the /usr/cyrus/bin directory, but I have the following in postfix's master.cf ...
lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp
Since I am using Cyrus IMAPd and SASL auth, do I need to use the Cyrus lmtpd? If not, is it benneficial to use the Cyrus lmtpd? ... And finally, if so, does anyone know how it is configured in Postfix?

That's not exactly correct. From my /etc/postfix/main.cf:
# Cyrus will hard link messages to multiple recipients
# on the same Cyrus partition.
lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = 3000
HOWEVER, local delivery in Postfix is only to one recipient at a
time. This is a limitation of the local delivery agent, not of
LMTP. To get around this limitation I use virtual table to route
mail (via LMTP) from MX host to Cyrus host.
In the case of the problem report, it is not clear how mail is being
routed or how lmtp is being called.
