The Signed-off-by header is probably part of the message body. Current quilt has heuristics built in for handling most patches well enough. As part of those heuristics, it adds addresses from To: lines in patch headers to the To: mail header, and Signed-off-by:, Acked-by:, and Cc: to the Cc: mail header. It doesn't check those addresses for validity or try to quote them, so that's probably what causes this problem. Probably it would be good to be more liberal with recipient addresses in general, and quote them properly automatically.
