IIRC, this issue was the matter of a recent IESG appeal:

http://www.ietf.org/IESG/APPEALS/appeal2-draft-lyon-senderid.txt
http://www.ietf.org/IESG/APPEALS/appeal-response-william-leibzon.txt

Based on that, I do not believe it is correct to state that it is either 
legitimate or expected for automatic forwarders to add resent-* header 
fields.

RFC 4407 got published with an IESG note because it was experimental.  Here 
the bar is higher, so however this issue gets resolved, I think it important 
to not do anything that indicates resent-* header fields are to be added 
automatically.
