Correct. For RfC2822 you need to quote it like this:

  my_hdr From: "Bjoern Jacke (private)" <foo@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The expansion feature along with self-defined $my_ variables was added 
in 1.5.11 and thus isn't present in 1.5.9:

In your case, I guess mutt would try to expand $realname as environment 
variable.
