Please file a bug report about this at bugs.python.org and add me (tracker
id r.david.murray) to the nosy list.  It may not be fixable as a bug since
the current email package makes no promises about detecting all errors.
However, since as you point out the resulting message structure is
changed, it probably is classifiable as a bug.  I'll take a look at
the issue when I get a chance, or you could propose a patch if you are
motivated to do so.
