I would disagree that this is non-standard. My reading of section 3.2.5 of RFC 2822 says that a quoted string form of the local-part can contain a slash character (amongst others) so that "fred/smith/jnr"@some.domain should be valid if not that usual. It is not as if the form is an obsolete one.
The address parsing by the functions in the email package handle an email address of the form "fred/smith/jnr"@some.domain without apparent problem.

There is an open ticket in the system for this:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=643605&group_id=103&atid=100103
The last time Barry commented he said that it is flagged for 3.0.
