 But Qmail won't send the email to the backup MX?

Not sure if i would use NFS as a qmail queue storage. But that another IMHO. Qmail will do the second MX once u close up the service listening on port 25 of the broken machine. For many default qmails, u have about 6 days to disable the port to the broken MTA before the e-mail is deemed undeliverable.

There's a spec - everyone else follows the spec - except qmail.

I'm sure that there is a spec. I'm not sure why the followers of the RFC spec have not yet chimed in. Do u know where the spec spells this out?
