I think so, yes. The theory is that identical message ID means identical
article, apart from the possibility of different routes yielding different
Path headers. So when the article is deliberately set propagating from
more than one point, it's appropriate to try hard to make the copies as
identical as humanly possible, including filling in all the headers you
can reasonably fill in.
