Here it works:

Jan 22 21:49:15 vh3 deliver(user at test.tld): Sending a forward to <user at example.org> with return path <<john.doe at example.com>>
Jan 22 21:49:15 vh3 postfix/pickup[13961]: 5C3B165CF: uid=70005 from=<john.doe at example.com>
Jan 22 21:49:15 vh3 deliver(user at test.tld): msgid=<6Zd0$2460.john.doe at example.com>: forwarded to <user at example.org>
Jan 22 21:49:15 vh3 deliver(user at test.tld): msgid=<6Zd0$2460.john.doe at example.com>: saved mail to INBOX

Works also w/o explicit "keep;"
