Ok, so I've done the following:
    - emacs -Q
    - M-: (setq message-user-fqdn "elsewhere")
    - M-x message-mail

The "From:" is set to "user@elsewhere" as you, too, observed, right?
This is what you considered to be a bug.  I don't know if it is one but
you're right that this is not documented in 'message-user-fqdn' nor
'user-mail-address'.

How to fix something that we don't know about?

Yes, probably.  I'm not queuing mail so I should try it first.

It could be just a command away ;-) but…

…fair enough too.

Yes, this is your second bug then.  I'll also try to test with queuing
message.

Ok.

Yes, please do so!
