deliver and multiple bounces for a single failure

I've got a problem I hope is just a configuration issue. Due to the problems
I've had with Postfix and LMTP, I've switched to the pipe-to-deliver method.
The problem: When multiple users are delivered to on a single deliver
instance and one of them bounces (over quota), the entire envelope "bounces,"
even though everyone else does indeed receive the message.
The MTA, in other words, is seeing these bounces and returning messages to the
senders with dozens of failures reported for every actual failure. (This is
quite a headache when MLM's come into the picture, for example.)
My 'cyrus' transport in /etc/postfix/master.cf:
cyrus unix - n n - - pipe
user=cyrus argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -r ${sender} ${user}
Are there any options, either in the MTA or in Cyrus, that will prevent these
erroneous bounces? (Postfix 2.1.5, Cyrus 2.2.12, Debian 3.1)
Thanks,
John
