I think it would be important to document this behavior if users had reason to 
believe Maildrop would work in this situation.  But, as far as I can tell, 
Maildrop never advertises that it could be used this way.

Given that in the 18 years this bug report has been open, no other user 
besides yourself has commented on it with the expectation that this 
configuration should work, my guess is that either this is a use case that 
nobody else has ever tried or that the current documentation is sufficient for 
users to not expect that this would work.
