That's correct, because the address is empty, while the
"phrase" is "<>".

There you're setting the address to "<>", which isn't right.
The angle brackets aren't part of the address. Try putting in
"abc" as the phrase part, and you'll get "abc <<>>". I
wouldn't say your way is any more correct than Matt's.
Unfortunately, it looks like Mail::Address doesn't use angle
brackets in the format when the address is empty, even if
there's a phrase. So it's not clear what the proper way to
represent an empty address is.
