Well, if I had to guess, the rationale is probably something like:
"If an email has a Reply-To: set, then all correspondence regarding that email
should go to the Reply-To: address. However, you've identified a mailing list
as your Reply-To:, and we're quite sure that we shouldn't send bounce
information to the list; therefore, we're not going to send it anywhere at
all."
That goes double if you set a mailing list as your From:.
