OK, here goes:
I maintain a variety of email addresses (including my company address and an AKO address for work-related messages), and an extensive set of mailboxes and rules to bin those messages.
In previous versions of Mail.app, when I replied to a message, it would take the identity the message sent to me. So responding to a message sent to email@hidden would use the email@hidden mail identity/account. (That's particularly important when responding to listservers like this one, that are sensitive to the sender's address and reject unregistered addresses.)
In this version of Mail.app, without changing any preference, -some other algorithm*- is used, which I've been unable to determine. But whatever that algorithm is, it's -usually wrong-, and in particular does not align the response identity to the identity used to receive the message. Others have commented on this, and I've submitted a Mail.app bug report on it (although that bug report might not have been too coherent, since I didn't quite understand what was happening when I submitted it on my first day using Mountain Lion.)
Another bug I've noticed: If I start a message with an identity that does not have a Signature, and then switch (using the "From:" on the toolbar) to an identity that does have a signature, the signature associated with the new identity is not added to the message.

* random selction is, of course an "algorithm" for purposes of this discussion :-)
