I think you're right.

If MUA's:

(a) merely check for the existance of AR (and ignore the hostname) then all AR headers MUST be stripped from incoming messages (I guess unless the MUA is programmed only to look at the top-most and that one is added by the local MTA)

(b) search for an AR that matches a known hostname then nothing needs to be stripped except AR's with that hostname on incoming mail

These are the two options that I can see.
