I don't see the Reply-To in the headers that you have posted. I would think that this is the cause of your bounces going back to your postmaster.
Why doesn't it simply reply to the From: address, as would happen if one didn't have a Reply-to address? In any event, I added a reply-to address in squirrelmail, it didn't show up in the vacation message header.

You've indirectly answered your own question. Automated responses, like vacation responses, are always sent using a null sender, to avoid message loops.
If the response was sent using the original recipient's address as the sender, where would the bounce be sent? If it was sent to the original recipient, that would trigger the vacation response again.
The bounce would be from the local postmaster address, not from the original address that was bogus. Theoretically, one's vacation program should not respond to messages from postmaster, if set up correctly. In any event, again, why should it care if the sender is null, shouldn't it reply to the From: address anyway?
