Cool. So do we now want to change the expected behavior?

While analyzing this section of sbbsecho.c, I did notice this change which struck me as potentially undesireable:
https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/ffe69b43623db42984a286433e62f4256

With this change (apparently as the result of a suggestion or request by Alterego), if the destination address is 1:2/3.1, but our local system has an AKA of 1:2/3.2, no routing would occur (to a boss node or based on explicit routing configured in echocfg->Linked Nodes) and that seems like a bug to me. But still unrelated to your observations.
