I had a similar issue and here is the reply I got:

Found this:

Which points to the manual (Section 3.19)...
[start manual citation]
Note
send-hook's are only executed once after getting the initial list of
recipients. Adding a recipient after replying or editing the message
will not cause any send-hook to be executed, similarly if $autoedit is
set (as then the initial list of recipients is empty). Also note that
my_hdr commands which modify recipient headers, or the message's
subject, don't have any effect on the current message when executed from
a send-hook.
[end]
I tried what you're trying, it seems like it will set the subject of the
next message you compose.

And another follow up from Monte:
One of the best explanations as to why it is the way it is:

Hopefully you can crack this egg.
