[DSNs when using source routes in MAIL FROM:]
2821 says <joe(_at_)hostw>, 821 says RCPT TO:<@hostx:joe(_at_)hostw>.

And that's probably the problem:  821 was obviously wrong, it
makes no sense to say RCPT TO:<@hostx:joe(_at_)hostw> while talking
with hostx.  2821 tried to fix it by removing @hostx, and made
it worse.  Of course _one_ host has to be removed, but not all.
Remaining hosts in the path should be kept.  Or what's the idea
of stripping _all_ hosts in 2821 ?

Source routing is deprecated. You should be able to accept and correctly process these routes, but you should not generate them.
