I don't know if it's fair to say they're broken; conventional wisdom
says "be strict in what you send and flexible in what you receive";
seems like this would definitely fall into that.  (Of course, just
passing the message with the NULLs in tact would be broken, because then
the MUAs would have to deal with them.)

That said, it shouldn't be too difficult to implement an LMTP proxy that
sits between the MTA and Cyrus.  An LMTP proxy could also plug-in to
Postfix's content_filter mechanism.  Could probably also be written as a
SpamAssassin rule.
