No, I don't think so. The protocols are quite clear. rfc5322 section 3.6 
says there must be exactly one From: header. If there are two, then you 
don't have a compliant email. Why any software should assign a positive 
trust value (like claiming the Author address has been verified) to a 
non-compliant email, I don't know. Anyway, this is clearly a problem with 
rfc5322 compliance, not with DKIM.
