Yes I see what you mean Chuck, pure common sense to pronounce an R in the word when there isn't one in it

No I would say En-vell-uped because Envelope is a different thing.

Do you say it as if you would the plural of envelope? I would say it as I would develop.

enveloped - en-VEL-oped
envelope - EN-vel-ope

The stress is in different places but I pronounce them the same.
