I can't reproduce this.
in #5, did you double click?
did it work differently in version 2?

I open a new email. Press F9 to activate the Contacts sidebar
I double click one address and it is entered into the first field of the email. In this case a To: field entry. 
Now I double click on the second address in the sidebar and it is entered in the second field under To: . I change the To: status into Bcc: because this address and any following I want to be Bcc:.
If I go now back to the sidebar and choose another address it is entered in the 3rd field but switched back to To:
This happens only when addresses are entered via address sidebar.
