[ sends mail to himself and mailing list; mailing list copy is
  discarded and thus split methods only produce one match ]

Well, if (setq nnmail-treat-duplicates 'delete), Gnus will ignore the
second and subsequent copies of the same message.  However, the copies
are not all equal: the message that you send to yourself contains no
special headers, whereas the message received from a mailing list
might contain an X-Loop or X-Mailing-List header.

If your nnmail-split-methods rely on such headers, they won't split
the first copy correctly.

Ideas:

* Change nnmail-split-methods to split on To and Cc headers, too.
* (setq nnmail-treat-duplicates nil)

Also note that (setq nnmail-crosspost t) is probably your friend.
