How in the world in an automaton supposed to guess that 3. is bogus and
3a. is not?

It isn't supposed to (unless some future son-of-DKIM tells us how). But  
humans can usually spot the difference between a personal address and a  
role address and act accordingly, of even code their private  
implementations to do so.
