That address is probably confusing the address stripper. This is arguably
a bug; RFC822 doesn't actually require any space between the phrase and the
route-addr. Fixing this would be very hard. It is handled properly by the
address parsing code in 2.0-to-be.

Well, the quotes are required because of the presence of the comma (at
least in RFC822, other standards may have relaxed the requirements on atoms
in the phrase part of a route-addr); I think it's the position of the final
quote in proximity to the first angle bracket that's giving the stripper
trouble but it's hard to tell for sure.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about when I mention RFC822, see
