Yes, interesting. Perhaps using a router such as this would do?

====================================================
dnslookup:
  driver = dnslookup
  domains = ! +local_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  self = fail
  no_more
====================================================

Without the 'ignore_target_hosts' option but including 'self = fail' it
detects this particular instance because the lowest MX record points
back to the local host.
