Note that it's only munging if it is actually munging; i.e. if they do
this when reply-to is already set that's bad; if they are *adding* the
header to point to the original sender when it did not previously
exist, they are using it (more or less) as intended: to ensure that
responses intended for the author are routed as such.  That should be
fine unless the author has already done that.
