And, albeit arguably, I think that's the correct behavior. Plushacking is a hack specifically to make recipient filtering easier and more reliable; since you cant expect outsiders to assume it, you have to yourself treat it as separate mailboxes, and assume they will as well. As mailman does. It is, in short, a way to create additional recipient mailboxes when the user in question doesn't have administrative permission to do that; assuming the user's receiving MUA will do the right thing -- but that's the only computer it requires you to make an assumption about.
