I think ('', 'merwok') is the correct result. I think most if not all MUAs/MTAs
will interpret an address without an '@', albeit invalid, as a local-part in
the local domain, thus parsing 'merwok' as the address 'merwok' with no real
name is probably the right thing to do with this input. The alternative would
be to return ('', '') indicating failure.

Here, I think failure is a more appropriate return.
In any case, I think this is a new bug deserving of a new report. It is not
really relevant to this issue which has to do with nested parentheses.
