This indeed seems to be the problem. If I empty the field 'Your full name:' in

      Global Preferences -> Personal Information

redirecting messages works. But if this field is not empty, it fails.

Apparently this is a design decision, to not allow the above mentioned  
field to be filled. In that case, it should be locked (and hidden) for  
the default identity (so that users don't accidentally put something  
in there), or (better) it should simply be disregarded when building  
the MAIL FROM address when redirecting messages. I fail to understand  
why sending new messages with the default identity is not a problem  
with the 'Your full name:' field filled, but redirecting is.
