Question [SOLVED] Away message only work for primary domain?

We're using 4.5.11 NE, and our environment is such that we've had to set up several domain aliases for our configured mail domain (using zmprov):

Code:
> zmprov createDomain example.com \
    zimbraDomainType alias \
    zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @example.com \
    zimbraMailCatchAllForwardAddress @sub.example.com

> zmprov getAllDomains
sub.example.com
example.com
We're noticing that users who set an away message find it only works for messages addressed to <user>@<domain> or <user_alias>@<domain>, not for <user>@<domain_alias> or <user_alias>@<domain_alias>.

For the sake of explanation, our mail domain is "sub.example.com", and one of the domain aliases we've configured is "example.com". Mail for our users, but addressed to "user@example.com" is forwarded to "user@sub.example.com" and delivered to our Zimbra system. If "user" creates an away message, mail to "user@sub.example.com" or "user_alias@sub.example.com" will properly get an away response. Mail to "user@example.com" or "user_alias@example.com" will not get an away response. In all cases, the mail ends up properly in the user's inbox.

Given that nearly half our users prefer their "user@example.com" addresses over "user@sub.example.com", we're somewhat in a bind for getting away messages to actually work.

Any suggestions? Searched bugzilla for "away message" and "vacation message" and found nothing along these lines. I suppose I should file a bug...

Thoughts?
