I cannot think of any reason the list should be mailing to itself; I’m wondering about putting the list address on the ‘always discard’ list in Privacy Options > Sender Filters
(just had to go through and discard another one of those stupid fake ‘I hacked your computer and watched you look at porn’ extortion spams from dozens and dozens of lists; which would be quite the feat for a virtual mailman server :-)
These always come through addressed FROM the address they’re sent to: From:mylist@example.com To:mylist@example.com
Is there any reason I should NOT add the list address to that group?

You can do that, but putting addresses as opposed to regexps in *_these_nonmembers is deprecated.
The preferred method is to add the list address as a nonmember (which it probably already is, having posted to the list) and set it's Moderation to Discard.
