I looked at the subversion (from cvs) log messages and found from Barry:

 process(): If a member has enabled their DontReceiveDuplicates option,
 we'll also strip their addresses from CC headers in the list copy.
 This helps keep the CC lines from growing astronomically.

I guess that answers the 'why'. Should we try to address the
inconsistency?
