Ah. Alright, fair enough, *that* is a bug. The previous descriptions made it sound like a key with the first of those test UIDs wouldn't show up when searching for "<[email protected]>" to which my response was, well yeah. The basis of my concern there being that partial matches on email would have even more unintended consequences when gTLDs matched ccTLDs and the inevitable can of worms that leads to (and certainly has in the past in a more general sense).
