If I read that bcc trace, it says “extracting ‘detail’ part from address ”.

OK, but that exact line is used in several examples online to get the email address. And it doesn't explain why "if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] ["*@*."] {" also failed to match despite also showing the email address.

“kremels@kreme.com” does not have a :detail part (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples talks about this).

And I am not asking for :detail, nor am I trying to the the address extension/plus address.

If it were “kremels+thing@kreme.com” then the net line out to say “finished match with result: ‘thing’” or some such.

It should not because I am not asking for the detail, I am only asking for :matches "*" -- "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" "Well, I think so, Brain, but I can't memorize a whole opera in Yiddish."
