Sgnus 0.63 doesn't use message.el, does it?

I have seen the behaviour quite a lot. But not that it inserts headers
after the separator, but that it inserts an empty line before it. The
problem I hav seen are really long Message-IDs in the In-reply-to:
line, which were wrapped like this:

In-reply-to:
        <REALLY_LONG_MESSAGE_ID@FOOBAR>

----- Separator line here --------

This made sendmail.el put many of the headers in the body instead.

I never bothered to track it down or report it, though.
