This worked in Tiger too.

No, it didn't. At least, it certainly doesn't work on 10.4.10 -- I tested it just this morning, and the nickname field is resoundingly ignored by Mail.

All I can say is I've been using the nickname field for addressing people for a long time and I never used Leopard before GM. So yes, it did work in Tiger for me. Maybe its due to some plugins I had and a side effect or what not, but the end result is it worked.
