According to the main.cf information in the problem report,
local_recipient_maps=$alias_maps and all those maps are local files,
so that would exclude the usual nsswitch foul-ups.
There are no confirmed reports on this list that Postfix "forgets"
users in local alias database files. For this reason I will assume
with confidence that you have some buggy database library.
Postfix uses the same system library routines to access alias_maps
in the smtpd(8) and local(8) programs. If smtpd(8) finds users that
local(8) does not find, then I suggest that you consider using a
more robust database implementation.
