It also seems like the message with no BCC header field would still be eligible 
for replay, wouldn’t it?

This scheme also would depend on DKIM verifiers correlating the signed BCC 
header field with the envelope-to address of the message. I expect it would 
take quite a while for verifiers to migrate to code that does this correlation.

A better scheme (but not much better) might be to define an Envelope-to: header 
field, but that also has the verifier problem.

And all of these would break recipient-side forwarders (e.g., alumni addresses, 
role-based addresses).
