But only _after_ finding the non-compact version has failed, thus not in the 
described scenario.

Consider the following SIP fragment:

REGISTER sip:mydomain SIP/2.0
v: SIP/2.0/UDP 172.16.1.40:5060;branch=z9hG4bK-123;rport
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 172.16.1.55:5060;branch=z9hG4bK-456;rport;maddr=1.2.3.4

get_header(... "via"...) will return the second via header and use its maddr 
parameter.
