Below is the current content of the technote. The problem came up today and the root cause is identified.
Please do exactly what this technote say and don't try to fix it. A fix is on it's way.

What is actually failing is for example that the MaxHops setting is set to 0 due to this problem. Also the number of mailboxes will be set to 1 if it was set higher.
If you have only one Domino server in the chain for mail-routine and just one mail.box, you might be lucky for the mail routing issue. But there might be other side effects of the underlaying problem.
Be prepared to update to the latest FP or the current stream you are working on.
If you are using the community container image, I will make sure the fix is added as soon it is available.
Domino 14.0 AutoUpdate supports distributing FPs and IFs already. If you on 14.0 you will be able to leverage AutoUpdate to distribute the IF.
If you need help talk to your business partner. This will be a mandatory fix you can't skip.
You should already prepare for the update.
