What problem?

In what way? AFAIK, nobody complained about it in Emacs 22.

If there is a problem, I think you should add elements to the default
of rmail-retry-ignored-headers (and add a :version tag), rather than
using rmail-ignored-headers for this.

rmail-retry-failure in the trunk, right where you made your change:

 (rmail-delete-headers "^\\(sender\\|return-path\\|received\\):")
