If I understand correctly. A message originating on a point (/202.1) gets
sent to and processed by (202.0) and then sent to and processed by (/400.0)
then (/400.0) sends the same message back to (/202.0).

It would seem that (/400.0) should be looking at any /202.* AKA as /202.0
and since /202 would be in the seen-by's then (/404.0) would avoid sending
the same message back to (/202.0).

I have Mystic, BBBS, and Synchronet setup here on Linux 64 PC's and use
point AKA on several of the and haven't run into a point issue
