if mail is wrongly addressed to u2ATd1.com, how do you bounce the mail and/or insure u2 does not receive it by accident?

You don't. That's the point of a *local* domain. When d1.com and d2.com are both in 'locals' then there is no 'u1@d1.com' and no 'u2@d2.com'. There is only 'u1' and 'u2'. It doesn't matter which domain is used; u1@<any-local-domain> is always delivered to the user 'u1'.

You need to redo these domains as hosteddomains. In that case 'u1@d1.com' and 'u1@d2.com' are two separate accounts since the domain is now part of the account name.

Read the DESCRIPTION section of the 'makehosteddomains' man page for an explanation of how this works. I think that what you really want is hosted domains, not local domains.
