Yes, and it has to. In fact, it's not rewriting the address but
"escaping" or "quoting" (whatever you want to call that). According
to the RFC (I've never read them :-), the parts separated by dots
can't be empty; if they are, you need to somehow quote the
address - saying "this address is non-RFC conformant, but please
try to deliver".
I hope I got it right...
