Yes, and it is one of those documented "features" of Gmail:

***

Finally, if you're sending mail to a mailing list that you subscribe to, 
those messages will only appear in 'Sent Mail.' This behavior also occurs 
when sending to an email address that automatically forwards mail back to 
your Gmail address. To test forwarding addresses or mailing lists, use a 
different email address to send your message.

Another bypass to jump this "feature" and still keep using your Gmail 
address in the reply-to field could be using a different "smtp" gateway 
service for sending e-mails instead using Gmail's one. Some e-mail 
servers will allow to relay the e-mail if you provide the right 
credentials for authentication.
