That's not the point. Even if you are correct (I would assume rfc2047
would apply to From_ headers as well), we'd like dbmail to gracefully
degrade.

Stay current on gmime-2.2. That is the only version I really test. Gmime
is a fast moving target! 2.4 is api/abi incompatible, and 2.6 (already
being worked on) will break that again. Jeff has done some fixes in this
area, and dbmail has it's own share of work-around faulty encodings on
top of that. Running the unit-tests (./configure --with-check; make
check) might help in exposing the trouble spots.
