I did NOT tell you to use two accounts.
I told you to use two email addresses.
An email address IS NOT an account.

Again, an email address IS NOT an account.
If it helps to rephrase the example:
Prerequisites:
foo@example delivers to script
foo.maildir@example delivers to maildir
Use virtual_alias_maps with:
foo@example foo@example, foo.maildir@example
Now, mail for foo@example goes to script and maildir.
