This is not a problem, it is as expected and documented in [43.7].
"exim -t" should remove a Bcc: header but in other cases exim should not
remove any header unless configured to do so. If you prefer to remove Bcc:
headers even without using -t option, you can add

    headers_remove = bcc


to all relevant transports.
