OK, this is slightly unfair. Of course the user _should_ have the new
email address, since it was returned in the 551 response and only a
_very_ broken mailer wouldn't actually give that text back.

But users don't read bounces. It's better to send it on to the correct
address automatically. You still haven't said what's _wrong_ with making
that requirement for SPF-publishing senders.
