We're talking about the Resend-* header fields as specified in STD 11,
RFC 2822, and RFC 4406 7.3.  I can't believe that I quote Sender-ID :-(

No idea, same situation as 30 months ago:  I never got a Resend-* mail,
I never sent one, and as far as I'm concerned this mechanism should be
deprecated in favour of a proper MIME message/rfc822 (or a similar EAI
message/utf8smtp, if that's how EAI eventually solves its MIME issue).

Even clarifying 4409 8.1 (it doesn't discuss Resend-Sender) is a royal
PITA, one SHOULD too much, and it's back at PS instead of going forward
from DS to STD.  IMO we need 4409 at STD more urgent than Resend-cruft.

Who on earth needs more or less than one address in a Resend-From, 
justifying to use a Resend-Sender ?
