Gnus nnmail-split-fancy regexps can’t support backrefs inside themselves

If I use a rule with a match regexp including a backreference inside the
variable nnmail-split-fancy, it doesn’t match anything anymore:
("list-id" ".*<\\(gcc\\)-\\(help\\).\\1.\\(gnu\\)\\.org>.*" "lists.\\3.\\1.\\2")

Yet backrefs are supported on the other side of the rule… is this
normal? why is that? I at least would like a confirmation ^^
