Did you have a chance to examine the killed message (in quarantine)?

The bounce killer should not act on normal messages regardless of
return-path, if they do not look like a (non-)delivery notification
of one sort or another - either in the fully standard form (rfc 3464,
rfc 5337, rfc 3798, marf-feedback-report), or in some of the more common
nonstandard forms. It would be possible to have a false positive on the
later, like considering an message with an attached complete message
to be a bounce (this is made more strict now in 2.7.0-pre*), but this
should be quite rare.

So, either examining the affected message or checking a log level 5
report in the bounce killer section would be needed. And yes, the
whitelisting has no effect on a bounce killer.
