What version of MailBox are you running?  In my version, the clone is
on line 198...

This certainly should work.  I have tried it out.
Simpler is
  $msg->head->set(To => '"Vic" <[email protected]>' ) ;

An other way to get your task to work is:

  my $msg = Mail::Message->build(....);
  $msg->send(to => '"Vic" <[email protected]>' );

The destination will not be visible in the sent headers, but plays its
role in the SMTP protocol.
