locals works by deleting any matching domain before doing any further 
processing. The behaviour you observe is as designed. If two domains are 
both listed in locals, it will be impossible to distinuish between users at 
those domains with identical user names. I use this feature to merge email 
arriving for my old domain name with that arriving for the current one.
