Which is pretty annoying.

This might (and I really am guessing here) be because sup skips
duplicates (by message id).  In the first exaple you get the mail
twice (assuming you are subscribed to lista).  The one you most
probably get first (and gets indexed first) is the message you get
directly and which does not have list headers.  The one which makes
the extra hop via list server (and has the list headers) gets to you
later and is simply discarded as duplicate.  When you go reply the
mail, sup is perfectly unaware of it being a list mail.

I can tell you it is _way_ more annoying to accidentally send private
mail to list (I've done that, once _really_ badly).  So this behavior
(automatical selection between list reply and private reply) should
IMO be conservative in this sense.
