The presence of the magit list is obviously the unusual thing here,

the list via gmane. So I believe it is your workflow that introduces
the mangled addresses on the reading end, not the sender.
IIRC, gmane intercepts a first-time post to a newsgroup->mailing list
using a mangled email that it gets and later forwards on your behalf
when you prove that you're human.  Or something like that.  The weird
thing is that it did that for a personal email -- maybe someone posted
a reply with CCs, where the usual thing is to have only newsgroups?
