Andrew,
if I reply to a message that comes from "tech-talk-bounces" I will likely reply to "tech-talk-bounces". You'd have to edit the recipient to avoid that.
No.
Tech-Talk messages are keeping the original sender in the "From:" header intact, so a simple "reply" should create a mail to the original sender.
The "tech-talk-bounces" address is added in the "Sender:" and - more importantly - "Errors-To:" headers to direct mail bounces to mailman's automated bounce-handling mechanism.
This fully complies to the relevant RFCs and works without any problem on most mail clients and with ten-thousands of lists that are handled by mailman world-wide.
What mail client are you using that shows this erroneous behavior?
If it's supposed to work like that it probably does. I use pine when I'm at home, seamonkey when I'm at work.
