Probably not a help right now, but I did have a similar problem and
wasted a morning fiddling with Postfix trying to fix it. In the end, my
problem was caused by one of the domains also being listed in
mydestination or myorigin (I forget which)... I think it was myorigin
because I kept thinking 'why would this parameter have any effect on
incoming mail?', but it did in fact break using virtual domains and lead
to rather 'odd' behaviour...

Other than that, might be a question for the Postfix users mailing
list... good luck!
