Well, please excuse me, i do not understand.  No, it is not
obvious.  I mean, i have shown the sendmail(1) invocation with two
recipients -- granted this is all local --, and the one is
expanded, so we effectively have the same address twice, and that
is then "delivered" via local, it is actually an alias that runs
a program, and that is run twice.
Whereas i would expect something like

  </dev/null s-nail -:/ -Sstealthmua -Smta=test \
    -X 'alias [email protected] [email protected]' \
    -s hi [email protected] [email protected]
