R. David Murray added the comment:

I'm pretty sure you are correct in your guess that the utility is used by other 
code that depends on the <> unquoting.

The new email policies (that is, the new header parsing code) probably do a 
better job of this, but get_param and friends haven't been wired up to use them 
when available yet.
