Hello Bryce,

afaict this is simply a (previously) unreported bug which is still open in GIT. See https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3008

[EDIT 2023-06-11] Actually it is not a bug. $run expansion was changed in 4.96 with ...
----------
JH/24 The ${run} expansion item now expands its command string elements after
      splitting. Previously it was before; the new ordering makes handling
      zero-length arguments simpler. The old ordering can be obtained by
      appending a new option "preexpand", after a comma, to the "run".
----------
... and the exim.conf-snippet needs to be changed accordingly.
