If the DKIM signature doesn't verify after signed headers have been altered,
then it's not.

Correct.  And the way that it fails to verify is h=from:from.

The only way that DKIM can consistently account for this exploit is by 
amending section 5.5 "Recommended Signature Content", and spell what 
fields MUST/SHOULD be duplicated in the h= tag.
