Hmm. This is probably all a side effect of BBDB implementing its own
address parsing, which may or may not be a good idea. The problem
being that mail-extr doesn't always return a useful value either. It
is, however, poor behaviour for BBDB to whine about this stuff; if it
gets past the MUA, BBDB should be able to make a reasonable stab at
parsing it.

For the mean time, you can get around stuff like this by modifying
bbdb-extract-address-components-regexp to cope with the bogus
addresses.

Waider.
