Just FYI ... we got rid of all masquerade support ... 9 years ago?
Definitely in nmh 1.4.  Now, we didn't get rid of the FUNCTIONALITY.
Basically there were all these bizarre rules around setting your "From"
header that you could use the masquerade entry to relax and we finally
agreed that was dumb, so we got rid of them and you can set your From
header to anything now.  That line isn't harming anything, but you can
safely remove it if your nmh is reasonably up to date.

The use of localname is fine; there are other ways to accomplish that,
but that's certainly one way of doing it.
