I tested this out before responding (by sending some test messages to my wife, sitting 3 feet away from me :-) ) and you are correct about the BCC: but not the CC: option: you don't get the "Undisclosed-recipients" with the CC: when the To: field is empty.
A normal mail server will remove the "Bcc:" lines from a mail, but the "Cc:" remain. So, when the "To:" field is empty, and the sender entered addresses in "Bcc:" only, it is a real case of "undisclosed recipients", isn't it? :-)
Since normally the "Cc:" recipients are transported to every receiver, the recipients (at least not all) are not undisclosed ;-)
Actually it used to be the job of the CLIENT to remove the BCC. If this is now handled by the Server it is certainly not universally handled correctly.
Which client? The sending client? So where would the server know the Bcc from? The receiving client? Why should privacy depend on client software behaviour only? You might turn off the Bcc behaviour and see all the recipients then, though the sender may not want this. When reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_carbon_copy, I do not get the impression that is is inteded to have this been solved by the receiving client.
