The response is done with lmtpd.c:send_response().  The command line is:

sendmail -i -f <> -- rcpt

I'm not a Postfix expert, but IIRC Postfix doesn't like the empty
Return-Path being specified by '-f <>'

You could try it without this option.  If this doesn't fix it, then I'd
start by testing a redirect action, since it is much less complex than
vacation.
