This was in fact set correctly - amongst the first things I checked.

The issue was with "Code Listing 2.5: /etc/postfix/transport" in the  
Mailfilter Guide, which of course I followed blindly. The guide  
states at the beginning that "This server is meant to run in front of  
the mail servers actually keeping the mail accounts" but I wanted to  
deliver to local maildirs; it seems that code listing 2.5 is the only  
section that needs to be changed in order to achieve this, hence my  
overlooking it.

For local delivery /etc/postfix/transport should read:
	mydomain.tld	local:
