Aha! Your reply prodded me to investigate this further. The problem seems to be in the way I'm working with the emacs "Message" mode. Namely, Bcc works fine when I *reply* to a message from notmuch in emacs: while composing the reply I see the automatically added Bcc header, and after sending through gmail and getting the new mail via POP I get the message back. However, if I'm using notmuch in emacs and press 'm' to compose a new message, then the Bcc header is not added automatically and I guess it's not surprising that the rest doesn't work as expected. So where is the difference between 'm' and 'r' coming from? I have (setq mail-self-blind t) in my .emacs, and I thought that should take care of things, but it obviously doesn't.
