In 2.2.9 on at least two sites CiviCRM is failing to include the e-mail address for the organization contact in the thankyou/receipt email that is sent, when the contribution page includes the "make contribution on behalf of an organization" option is enabled.

The email headers look like this in the error state:

From: "CiviCRM Org" <info@civicrmorg.org>
To: "Signup Organization" <>
Cc: info@civicrmorg.org,"Testonly Testperson" <signupindividual@gmail.com>
In this example CiviCRM Org is the org of the website/CiviCRM install in question, and Signup Organization is the organization on the behalf of which Testonly Testperson is signing up.

For some reason  sendMail() in /CRM/Contribute/BAO/ContributionPage.php has a blank/empty value for the $email variable in this case. I fixed it in my code by adding the following to sendMail(), at line 160:

            //HACK - problem getting on-behalf-of org email, so if $email is empty, we should get it from $contactID (org cid)                                                                                                       
            if ($email == '') {
              $inputParams = array('contact_id' => $contactID);
              $returnProperties = array('email' => 1);
              require_once 'CRM/Contact/BAO/Query.php';
              $newParams =& CRM_Contact_BAO_Query::convertFormValues( $inputParams );
              list( $org_contacts, $options ) = CRM_Contact_BAO_Query::apiQuery( $newParams,
                                                                                 $returnProperties,
                                                                                 null,
                                                                                 null, //sort
                                                                                 0, //offset
                                                                                 1, //rowcount
                                                                                 false ); //smartgroupcache
              $email = $org_contacts[$contactID]['email'];
            }
            // END HACK               
Don't know if I'm using that internal "get contact's email" query code correctly, as I typically just use the API functions.
