Personal servers: although I'm accustomed to it by now, I think a new user may be concerned if they open MT, never start a server, then open the Connections window and see an "Anonymous User (GM)" connected to their MT. It's not obviously themselves, and they're not obviously running a server either.
When connected to a remote server: it doesn't really hurt to show the player to themselves, but there's also no function to it. E.g., the player can only whisper to themselves, which seems really niche.
Server host: similar to (2), but now there is also the option for the player to boot themselves if a GM. Of course, when they try, a dialog shows up telling them they can't actually do that.
The Solution you'd like
The Connections window would only show remote players. So the three cases would specifically looks like this:
Personal servers: Connections window is always empty.
Remote server: Connections window will show the server host and any other connected players, but not the local player.
Server host: Connections window would start empty, and as players connect would then show those players. But the server host would never be in the list.
Alternatives that you've considered.
We could address cases (2) and (3) by just graying out the menu options for the local player.
