It seems quite odd to need to specify an archive server that is never
used.  Why not only check that the archive-method is non-nil when and if
it is needed?  Or, why not get rid of the idea of an archive server, and
just require that the archive group be "fully qualified", using an
existing server which is set up like any other server?  Think how much
simpler that node in the manual would be.

But at least I found a different clean workaround:

  (setq message-default-headers "Gcc: nnimap+rocky:Sent")

I'm not sure why there are two independent ways to achieve what I
want.  Should they be merged?  If not, the second way could be
mentioned in the manual as an easy, alternate option.  In fact,
it should probably be mentioned first, since it is a one-liner.
