Setting mail.override_list_reply_to = True will restore RFC compliant
behavior and address a "Reply" to the Reply-To: header address(es).
With the information that you have provided I was able to test this.
My findings appear to be opposite of what you have outlined, and
correspond with what Hal wrote.
My test message has the same address in Reply-To: and List-Post: and a
different address in From:.
With mail.override_list_reply_to set to true (the default), the reply
went to the From: address.
With mail.override_list_reply_to set to false, the reply went to the
Reply-To: address.
So, I think Thunderbird's new default is going to cause messages to go
back to the author, ignoring the Reply-To.
I can see how this could be annoying as a message author who wants
messages to be directed to the mailing list, particularly if I set the
Reply-To to be the mailing list. *sigh*
