That's because the semantics of the different reply actions was changed. 
We have three reply actions.

Reply - This one should ideally address the reply to the sender of the 
message. Unfortunately it's difficult for KMail to find out whether the 
Reply-to was altered/set by the mailing-list software or whether the 
user set the Reply-to. After you had removed the mailing-list post 
address from the configuration KMail couldn't anymore detect that the 
Reply-to was set by the mailing-list software and therefore used this 
as recipient for the reply.

Reply All - Addresses the reply to the sender and all known recipients 
of the replied-to message. Should ideally put the sender of the 
replied-to message in the To: and all other recipients in the Cc: 
except for mailing-lists where (ideally) the mailing-list address is 
put in the To: and all other addresses are put in the Cc:

Reply to Mailing-List - Addresses the reply to the mailing-list.

So if you want to reply to a mailing-list message then use Reply to 
Mailing-List, i.e. by pressing 'l' (small L).

Regards,
Ingo
