Ah, so I'm not the only person irritated by this guy. Possibly mutt users are the only ones whose MUAs protect them to the extent of hiding the From: altogether.

I'm thinking about getting procmail to rewrite that header as you describe. Maybe (untested): :0whf * ^from:.*<http://phr...@nospam.invalid> | formail -i 'From: Joe User <phr...@nospam.invalid>' ahead of the other rules.
