I belive it's actually an issue with Gmail.

Suppose you send an email (via Gmail's web interface or their SMTP
server) to a mailing list. The mailing list will send a copy of the
message back to you (if you've enabled it); however, Gmail recieves it
and says "Oh, you already sent that, I won't bother delivering it to
you". I'm not sure if it ever appears in your inbox, but it won't be
forwarded by any filters, and it probably won't be accessible via the
POP3 interface either.

I'm fairly certain that the behaviour is identical for sending an email
to yourself.
