Not in these examples, maybe - however, I have tested my config (Mutt
1.4.1i, Exim 4.20.1, FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE), and see the same behaviour.  A
test message sent from my home account to my work account, and Bcc:'d to an
alias on the home account, results in the Bcc: field appearing in the
headers of the copy received at work. 

These are the From:, To: and Bcc: from the copy sent to the work address:

From: Daniel Bye <dan at slightlystrange.org>
To: dan.bye at where-I-work.co.uk
Bcc: www at slightlystrange.org


The Bcc: also shows up (naturally enough) in the copy received by www@, but
I, like the OP, am baffled as to why it is visible in the copy received at
work.

A search on Google turned up this http://tony.rocks.cc/muttrc - a forward
search for bcc reveals:

unset write_bcc   # Exim does not removes Bcc headers

So, adding this to mutt's config results in:

From: Daniel Bye <dan at slightlystrange.org>
To: Dan Bye <dan.bye at where-I-work.co.uk>

and no Bcc: where it don't belong!

I see you are using Exim, as well, Wayne - try `unset write_bcc' in your
~/.muttrc.
