No - totally unreasonable.

However, I would agree to a "Apparently-To:" header in this case.
(That's what /usr/bsd/mail does when delivering local mail when there are
no To: or Cc: fields and all addresses are Bcc: or from the command line.)

In my opinion, it is blasphemy to munge with the To: and Cc: headers, but
perfectly reasonable to add a new filterable header like Apparently-To:.
