Forwarding here just in case anyone who isn't on mutt-users has any
comments.
I'm especially curious if anyone sees a downside to the patch in the bug
below or has any other insight on this issue.

Dustin wrote to another mailing list I'm on about this, and I suggested
he post here. I did find the below bug report / patch which seems to
explain this.

This has a description of a similar (identical?) problem and a patch
which might work.
Dustin didn't mention it in his post, but I know that he knows it's
documented, because he mentioned it. This shows up in the manual, though
not in the muttrc(5) man page.
http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-3.html#send-hook
Note: the send-hook's are only executed ONCE after getting
the initial list of recipients. Adding a recipient after
replying or editing the message will NOT cause any send-hook
to be executed. Also note that my_hdr commands which modify
recipient headers, or the message's subject, don't have any
effect on the current message when executed from a
send-hook.
