I wouldn't be surprised, gmail does do a few unusual things, mostly not
too annoying though (at least for me).

Sounds like that would lead to more inconsistencies.

True.  In my case, if I get both messages, it's a minor annoyance I can
live with, but it appears I'm receiving only one, which is a major PITA,
because of the behaviour inconsistencies.

I generally send to the list, unless I feel a need to go private, and
usually use Reply List, to minimise the amount of fiddling with
addresses.  The number of times I go private is small enough that if I
change my mind at the last minute, I can copy/paste the stuff I've typed
into a new message addressed direct.  Less work than editing address
lists, because on average I send far more mail through the list than direct.

That's always an option too.

I can understand that, I was recently caught out on a list with
Reply-To: munging.  No damage done, except a few confused "Bob"s, as my
reply was intended to be a private message to a friend named Bob. :)
