Maybe I'm not grasping everything regarding this thread, but seems
to me if you have this set it will go quite a ways to doing what you
want:

# The recipient_delimiter parameter specifies the separator between
# user names and address extensions (user+foo). See canonical(5),
# local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5) for the effects this has on
# aliases, canonical, virtual, relocated and .forward file lookups.
# Basically, the software tries user+foo and .forward+foo before
# trying user and .forward.
#
# recipient_delimiter = +

(Notice the ".forward+foo" example.)

This won't do the bounce upon a match not found that you want, but
then you can use a real filtering language like Procmail, or maybe
even Sieve in Cyrus IMAPd, assuming this LMTP stuff gets worked out.
