Attempting 3rd person observation...

As far as the basic user is concerned, it's always Reply to All.  If  
there is only one recipient, the 'All' is just the original Sender.   
That's not fancy.

BUT - If you add in that if one of the recipients is not your  
identities, then it's definitely dynamic.  Now, that's fancy for an  
advanced user, most user's aren't going to run into that situation -  
therefore the functionality appears incorrect to them.
