If there is, that software should be fixed. The only requirement on the "origaddr" portion of the FTN MSGID value is that it "should be specified in a form that constitutes a valid return address for the originating network" - so really, it can be whatever you like (except for spaces, obviously) and receiving/parsing software should be able to handle it correctly.

I have a whole write-up on this topic here if you want to read it:
