Automatic identity selection no longer working?

in TB 128.5.0esr catchall identities - *@domain.org - don't seem to work anymore. Well...

I regularly receive email at my catchall address: "Kordin <your-business-name@mydomain.com>"

But my mail host won't let me send from a custom @mydomain.com without setting it up, which is too much hassle.

So I spent a bunch of time a while ago setting up a different mail provider to send from these custom addresses, while still using my primary provider just for my most important addresses.

TB used to use the identity with a specific match for a from address to reply from. Otherwise it would match the *@mydomain.com identity and reply from "What You Called Me <what.address.you.used@mydomain.com>"

Currently it seems to select the wild card identity, but not populate the name. It also no longer displays the warning message that it will use an alternative identity.

I feel sure there's been some regression here, but the TB docco is all over the place.

Can someone please shed some light on this for me?
