So, I looked up the actual message.  It is being forwarded to a hotmail.com
account normally, and then forwarded back.

It looks like Hotmail/Outlook is rewriting the envelope sender back to your
account.

Ie, it's [email protected] -> [email protected]
[email protected] -> [email protected]
[email protected] -> [email protected] -> this fails because of DMARC policy
failure.

and then you get the bounce.

Our rewriting there is pretty easy to understand, pretty normal application
of a VERP, but it seems likely they are undoing the rewrite on purpose.  If
I had to guess, they are doing the rewriting to make other things work
better, and it's effect on the forwarding case isn't the primary reason.

As for why a user would do this, if they're using both accounts regularly,
the easiest is to set up forwarding in both directions and hope that
message deduplication takes care of stopping any loops.
