This is getting embarrassing. Re-reading what I wrote before, no, I did
mean $local_part but you found out I was wrong.
Spec 31.4 has the bit I forgot:
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
The variables $local_part and $domain can be used in the replacement string to
refer to the address that is being rewritten.
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
Setting up a test environment is more hassle than I want just now; I've
just checked and the rewrite code doesn't appear to adjust
$parent_local_part or $original_local_part. How useful those are depend
upon what redirection has already happened. If you're not already using
address_data, then one workaround is to preserve $local_part or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the address_data option on the Routers and
pull it back out again via $address_data (or ${local_part:$address_data}
) in the Transport.
$parent_/$original_ have the downside of being potentially fragile
depending upon other Routers.
$address_data has the downside of needing to be set on every Router
using this transport and preventing you from using it otherwise.

You weren't. I was being both thick and forgetful.
