R. David Murray added the comment:

This is an intentional change (see issue 1079).  It is entirely possible that 
this bug fix should be reverted, however, because of backward compatibility 
concerns.  I'm open to that argument, but I'd prefer to keep the fixed 
behavior, since the unfixed behavior causes us to violate the RFCs in several 
cases, as you can see from that and the related issues.

Note also the availability in 3.3 of the provisional email policies that will 
do an automatic full decode-to-unicode of such headers.
