 Hypermail does throw information away. It discards any kind of header that hasn't been told to keep (e.g. Reply-To:), and often alters some whitespace in in body.
 None of which seems very relevant to obfuscating the ids by default, since it is likely that anyone recreating an mbox would use a tool that knows how to unobfuscate them (i.e. hypetombox.pl).
