Well, that much I figured out.  What that means is my problem.

Ok. I uncommented that line in 
/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/400_exim4-config_system_aliases, which was 
exactly like that, reloaded exim and got the same log entry.  Meanwhile....
$ cat /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_address_pipe
address_pipe:
 debug_print = "T: address_pipe for $local_part@$domain"
 driver = pipe
 return_fail_output
