It's a feature.
When Mutt notices that you're replying to a message that is from you, it
will in fact address the message to the address(es) listed in the
recipient headers (To, Cc). This is so that you can easily send a
followup to your own message to the original recipient, which is mostly
what you want to do, instead of sending an email to yourself.
Because the Reply-To header defines where to send replies to the author
(in this case you), it is ignored.
