I can only assume it was a bug in validation at the time. From memory, people in the UK had to use @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com. I suspect it had something to do with that. But still, even before the UK could use @gmail.com, I was still getting the email. I would have thought this would go to the top of the issue list but apparently not.
