leaking to the outside in e-mail headers or other payload is no different from the current RFC local addresses
Well, it is. For instance spam detection software might think that class-E in mail header means obligatory SPAM. I don't know, I'm just speculating.
The problem would be if you allowed the address to leak in the IP headers.
There can be problems outside of just IP headers. The SIP people have IPv6 problems even if they're not doing IPv6 (since it can pop up in the SIP signaling payload). There are lots of protocols that carry this kind of information within the protocol, and it does leak.
