Yes. In all of the cases above, the Organizational Domain for both RFC5322.From 
and the DKIM/SPF authentication is example.com, consequently they match in 
relaxed mode. The same would be true for:

- RFC5322.From: a.example.com
- DKIM or SPF authentication identifier: b.example.com

Consideration 10.4 is exactly about what happens when independent and/or 
potentially hostile parties have control of sub-domains.
