true, it's illegal to have an '@' in a phrase unless its quoted.
it was illegal in RFC 822 also, which means it's been illegal for 20
years or so.  an '@' can't appear in an atom.

perhaps even worse, it's redundant.  why say 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

or even

"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

when simply

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

will do?  

a phrase containing another copy of the address conveys no additional 
information, it just wastes bandwidth and invites stupid mail handling tools
to play with it.
