I haven't tried the new code yet, but ....     Remember the "principle  
of least surprise."  Not even opening a reply window is surprising.   
Opening one without the TO: filled in is much less surprising, even if  
unexpected.  However, given that the change from current behavior is  
minimal - it makes sense.

What would be nice (but I suppose might take "magic") is to recognize a  
list address in either To: or CC: if the usual markers of the message  
coming from a list are not present.  I wonder (long term wishlist, not  
short term reality) if list addresses could be added to a list, so they  
could be so recognized?  This could work if any individual only had a  
small number of lists where this issue occurs.
