AFAIK, this is a hardcoded behaviour of Cyrus, without any regulation.
But partially broken in some versions, :) say, cyrus 2.5.10 sometimes
don't remove duplicates, this is definitely a bug.

If you want to keep duplicates in IMAP box, I recommend Dovecot.

You may put procmail filter behind cyrus deliver to remove duplicates
that are Cc/Bcc copies to know list addresses, in order to wait for a
copy from list manager. It may be done with custom router for cyrus
delivery: run procmail and call cyrdeliver on the end of recipe.
