In LMTPd it is to late to insert that information, therefore I would 
change the syntax a bit, e.g.

   <at> X-Original-To: %t\n
  +X-Original-To: %t\n
  X-Original-To: %t\n

" <at> " forces to overwrite existing headers, "+" adds another header, none 
adds the header if none is present.

In Charles's case, the no-prefix variant would be ideal, because usually 
the MTA has to insert that information, but the user can rely on the 
existance of the header - as a fallback added by lmtpd.

For local headers the value should overwrite any existing header passed 
from the outside.

Oh, the syntax should probably allow spaces in the value
