He said he had 1.2.5, as did his User-Agent header. :)

How are you setting the sender from folder hooks that isn't working?  You
shouldn't need to set it with folder hooks using alternates / reverse_name.
However, reverse_name only works for mail actually addressed to one of the
addresses in your alternates... if it's coming to you via a mailing list,
for example, you'll have to set it yourself.  I set $from with folder-hooks
for this purpose.
