No.

the docs to mean that it would reverse resolve within the domain - which
seems to be wrong...

Reverse, and forward.
Of course, temporary resolution glitches would be a factor here.

Hmmm - so maybe the problem people are having with this is a DNS problem? In
that case, could I try patching courier to use a temporary failure code so
the remote server retries (at which point the DNS should work?) I've tried
several test messages - so far ALL have failed this way.

Check for the text string "softdnserr", which is used in place of hostname when there's a temporary DNS error.
