Because the QuickFilter looks only in the displayed columns of the window
displayed, not in the contents or source of every message as Advanced Find
dos. That's what males it QUICK, if you want to know.  It doesn't have to
search the database, just its own columns. Since the folder windows have
many columns, there isn't room for both display name AND email address for
"From" column. therefore only Display Name is shown (unless there is no
display name, the email address is shown). Therefore QuickFilter only finds
display names (or email address when no display name).

So, no, it's no different in Entourage X. It's not a bug: that's how it
works. Now that you, what is so hard about using Advanced Find if you want
to look for email addresses? If you press  option-command-F, up it pops,
with the search already preset to the From filed for the very message you
have selected in your folder. Not only that, searching the database, at
least in X, is very fast, if not quite as fast as QuickFilter. So you have
many ways of searching - what's the problem?
