It is currently by (unproven) belief that multidrop handling was broken by 
some version of fetchmail between 5.3 (which worked) and 5.8 (which doesn't 
with the same .fetchmailrc configuration). 

Up until now, I have been using a binary rpm packaged by SuSE so I'll have 
to play some games on my server in order to get to a position where I can 
actually compile fetchmail myself and add some suitable debugging code. 

However, a cursory reading of the code suggests that the received headers 
are not being correctly mapped to local names in multidrop mode - whether or 
not the WILDCARD option is being used. 

I'll keep the list informed with what I find.

Have you been able to reproduce or probe this?  I found a minor bug that
*suffix* matches (rather than full-name natches) were not being properly 
caseblinded.  But it sounds like you're talking something more serious.

If you can reproduce this error, please try doing a binary search on version;
that is, try (say) 5.5

RPMs for old versions can be downloaded from the FTP site.
