That's right. GMail considers this a feature, and has consistently
refused to even provide an option to receive copies of own mail. You
may consider it embarrassing for GMail, but GMail clearly doesn't
think it's a problem.
If you don't like this feature, you will have to use a different mail
service from GMail, or live with it. You may be able to work around
it by fiddling with the subscription address as Richard suggests, but
I bet it doesn't work (these are different names for the same mailbox).

This is absolutely correct.

This is also correct. But only list admins really care about the
difference between a direct copy and the copy distributed by Mailman,
so it's a bad idea for Mailman to change the Message-ID. It probably
won't be supported, unless convincing evidence is presented that there
are cases where it won't confuse users and MUAs.
