If first_strip_reply_to = No there are two possible situations which
aren't covered in your (much improved!) self-doc.  Either the original
poster included a Reply-To:, or not.  If not, then I assume the original
From: address is put into the Reply-To: address. Yes?  If the original
poster included a Reply-To: address then DMARC forces us into a
situation in which we can't avoid information loss.  Either the poster's
Reply-To: is overwritten with the original From:, or the original
Reply-To: is retained and the original From: address is lost.  Which is
it?
