You are right about the S4; not sure about the S2.  From src/Version.c:

< D 5.26	85/09/25 11:02:19	eric	448	447	00000/00000/00015
< DO use Ruleset 4 when defining $f -- it's very necessary (fix for <>

< D 5.23	85/09/23 21:19:05	eric	445	444	00000/00000/00015
< deliver directly in SMTP if VERB command has been issued; don't
< externalize name using ruleset 4 when defining $f macro: this turns "<>"
< into "", which confuses local mail

So, from versions 5.23 -> 5.26 is was true that the final address does not
go through S4.  Now, however, it does.  Note that S4 is only used for the
$: portion of the triple.
