[email protected] is only published to MegaCorp, so any
non-MegaCorp email received at [email protected] implies that
MegaCorp has an email privacy issue.

Filter the old token then issue a new one to MegaCorp when that happens?

Nice. The subaddress can encode assertions regarding the sender, e.g.

        bob+dkimMegaCorp.com requires the email to be signed by MegaCorp

Were this format well-known, then MegaCorp would know that 3rd party
contact is forbidden and it has to broker the email transaction.
