   RFC2822.  It's annoying, but technically is correct behavior.

Wouldn't be able to digitally sign if any of this were incorrect, right?

Address matching only applies to your own certificate when sending a signed message.  If you can sign, your cert & mail config is fine. 


If you can't encrypt, then it's one of the other recipients. 
 
The certificates were valid, in my login keychain, with the email address *exactly* matching the recipients in all variations I tried.  I tried to send encrypted mail to literally all 30 people whom I have certificates for.  Never would the lock be anything but greyed out until my own certificates were in the login keychain.  Now, it all just works.  And this was on a *clean* (from scratch) install of leopard.  I sent a message to the list about this a month or so ago.
