1. emacs -Q with no ~/News directory.
2. I typed ` M-x gnus RET', then `y' at prompt "Continue?"  after
getting error 'news/nntp Name or service not known)' to proceed to empty
Gnus group buffer. 
3. Then I typed `C-x m' to open a buffer in Message mode, put a valid
email address in the To: header line, type `C-c C-f C-b' to add a Bcc:
header line and put a different valid email address in it, and completed
the email (subject, text).
4. Then I typed `C-c C-c' to send the email, using smtp with an existing
~/.authinfo. 

=> My mailbox received two copies of the email, both sent to the address
in the To: header line.  In both there is no Bcc: header line, and there
was no email sent to the address in the Bcc: header line.  I've tried
this three times, same result. Of course, this used work.

D'oh.  Of course you're right.  Moreover, I just checked with another
mail programm on the server of the address used in the Bcc: header line,
and the emails I sent are there.  I'm closing this bug.  Sorry for the
false alarm, and for the stupidity. (Maybe I can blame it on my current
bout of sinusitis...)
