No kidding.  I'll "CC:" to VM-mailer headquarters for an adjudication.

Hmmm, RFC 822 says:

            o   If the "Reply-To" field exists, then the reply  should
                go to the addresses indicated in that field and not to
                the address(es) indicated in the "From" field.

Seems the line to fix is:
vm-reply.el:480:      (insert "Reply-to: " mail-default-reply-to "\n"))
