True.

But I also think that the 'router' should "route" it to the correct destination in the first place.

So if the sender intended it to go to a zone gate (or some other system for "special processing" - and by definition in the current zone), then the packed message header could be used to indicate that.

But if it is intended to processed by the destination system (ie: the address in the INTL kludge) then the packed message header should have that address in it.

Otherwise, why have a destination in the packed message header? Make it nulls, especially if intermediate systems are not going to look at it anyway, or rather are only going to look at it if an INTL kludge isnt present.
