There seems to be a workaround. 

Instead of basing the filter rules against the "List-Id" field,
imapfilter can easily parse both the Cc: and To: headers (contain_cc()
and contain_to()) and copy the mails to the good folder
(copy_messages()).

I expect it should work but as the folders are labels at Google, I can't
say. I didn't tested and probably won't because I've already switched to
gmx.
