Hmmm is right.  A patch must have been botched sometime in the past.
Fortunately it makes very, very little difference because nobody ever uses
spaces in the places where that code removes them.  It just takes care of
one of the many nasty cases in RFC822.

Yes, it's been that way since 1.92 or maybe earlier.  I've never understood
whether it was intended to allow such an address through or not.
