I wonder if anyone can help with describing how fetchmail ascertains
whether a local user account is available or not when checking for
multidrops? I've had a look in the code, but as I'm not a programmer, I
can't really make head not tail of it.

Well, the domain names in the email addresses need to match - and I
presume none of the incoming messages read 
joe(_at_)192(_dot_)168(_dot_)1(_dot_)11,
frank(_at_)192(_dot_)168(_dot_)1(_dot_)11 and so on (because that's not valid 
syntax).

You'll need to tell fetchmail which domains to consider local, for
instance by using the "aka" option.
