I have noticed a similar obscurity: when a mail message passes between 
decwrl and rhea (as in a UUCP <--> DEC ENET mail message with a
pathname ...!decwrl!rhea!...), the headers are munged(?) to look like:

Received: from DECWRL.ARPA by RHEA.ARPA with <something or other>

where as I understand it, Rhea should be Rhea.DEC.  When attempting to
send mail through RICE-RHEA (that's what RHEA.ARPA) is, I got
undeliverable mail messages stating that the host was down or not
accepting mail.

Curiouser and curiouser ...
