"Never changing From/To headers" is in RFC 3261 for compatibility with 
RFC 2543 which used the whole header for dialog matching. RFC 3261 only 
uses the tags - thus changing from/to is possible.

Recently there was an RFC published which explicitly changes the from 
and to header (I can not remember the RFC number) with the conclusion 
that there shouldn't be any RFC 2543 clients anymore.

Nevertheless, if there is a component which does routing based on To it 
is buggy.
