I figured it out. It turned out to be my fault after all :-/. I had
cut'n'pasted wrongly from the manual.

As I wrote in my initial mail, I had

  (add-hook 'nnmail-prepare-incoming-hook
    'nnmail-remove-list-identifiers)

which should, of course, have been

  (add-hook 'nnmail-prepare-incoming-header-hook
    'nnmail-remove-list-identifiers)


However, it was not until doing C-h v on nnmail-prepare-incoming-hook
that I realised that it is only called once for all imported messages
in a group (as opposed to once for each message). I do not think the
manual makes that obvious (in the washing section). When you know it,
you can deduce it from the description of
nnmail-prepare-incoming-message-hook but I never read that far before
using nnmail-prepare-incoming-hook.

Changing the description to include something like the on-line help
"The hook is run in a buffer with all the new, incoming mail" would
help, I think.
