That's intended and the reason is that you probably know your own first
and last name, and thus some other display is more useful for own
articles.

|   3. The `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' variable says when the `%f'
|      summary line spec returns the `To', `Newsreader' or `From' header.
|      If this regexp matches the contents of the `From' header, the
|      value of the `To' or `Newsreader' headers are used instead.
| 
|      To distinguish regular articles from those where the `From' field
|      has been swapped, a string is prefixed to the `To' or `Newsgroups'
|      header in the summary line.  By default the string is `-> ' for
|      `To' and `=> ' for `Newsgroups', you can customize these strings
|      with `gnus-summary-to-prefix' and `gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix'.

If you don't like that, replace %f with %F in your
`gnus-summary-line-format'.
