Actually, I realise that when I run 

  gnus-summary-resend-message-edit

'gnus-alias' is not involved in any way.  So GCC is just set based on the
value of 'gnus-gcc-self-resent-messages'.  Furthermore, although GCC is
defined for all the identities in 'gnus-alias', 'gnus-message-archive-group'
was only defined for *one* of the corresponding methods defined in
'gnus-secondary-select-methods'.  It was precisely this one value for GCC
which was used.  Once I added the missing 'gnus-message-archive-group' to the
secondary select method for which the problem occurred, the issue was
resolved.

Thanks for helping me think more clearly, Mekeor!
