It's not a bug, as far as I know. It is not possible to change the original source of the message. When you Edit it changes the subject line on display but not the original header. It could be done by AppleScript - that makes a new incoming message (such things are possible) with a duplicate source but revised subject, then deletes the original. Even AppleScript can't alter the source of a message and needs to make a new one to replace it.
