That's the normal behaviour of GMail (it's a feature, not a bug).
It detects your messages from mailing-lists and doesn't send them too  
you. You can see them in the thread view of GMail.
Because I'm using Mail.app I set up smart folders for each subscribed  
mailing list which include my own sent mails to the mailing list.  
Then I can see them, too as well.
Another workaround could be to use the user "recent:yourgmailaccount"  
instead "yourgmailaccount" (but I'm not 100% sure about that - but it  
should work)
