Applications do launch hidden in Leopard, and Mail did in fact launch hidden, but there's nothing to say that an application can't make itself visible in response to a command. In this case, you implicitly told it to show by not specifying "visible:false" in the outgoing message properties. That said, it wouldn't have worked right even if you did, because Leopard Mail seems to always show the new message at least briefly, so that's a bug in Mail.
