Smart Mailboxes now contain a full set of MailTag options.
The update also fixes lots of bugs and annoyances, although some known issues remain — MailTags cannot store metadata on IMAP servers and there is a possible conflict with Mail Template.
If you use this plug-in, you will know how good it is. If you don’t, take this opportunity to check it out.
You can find more on MailTag’s goodness in an earlier Hawk Wings entry.
The new version and a full list of all the improvements are available from Scott’s web site.

Odd. I sometimes get the extra lines in the To: field, but it’s purely cosmetic and fairly rare. I’ve not seen that. Told Scott?

is there a MailTags version for 10.3.9?

You will need upgrade to 10.4, something that you will need to do in the end anyway. Eventually.
