As I said before, header_filter_rules are matched against the decoded
headers.

You won't see that. Further, there may be legitimate From: headers with
a utf-8 encoded fragment if, e.g., the From: display name is non-ascii.
Also note that your problem messages are non-compliant. RFC 2047,
section 5(3) is clear
+ An 'encoded-word' MUST NOT appear in any portion of an 'addr-spec'.
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2047.html#section-5>
Your real issue here is whatever header_filter_rule with hold action
above the discard rule is matching. That is what is preventing
generic_nonmember_action from discarding the message.
