So what's happening is that the info debian-bug get from the envvars are your full name and your email address. On the other hand with "list-cc-me" you only get the email part there. So from debian-bug point of view those are different info so the de-duplication doesn't happen (if both have the same info debian-el will dedup though). Ideally there should be a way to let reportbug ignore the configuration files and only process options passing through command line so that user configuration doesn't change its behavior, but as far as I can tell there is no option to do that (yet)[1].
