Is this a mimetools/rfc822 bug?

Correct, and rfc822 is fairly strict about what it accepts.  Leading
empty lines in the text will toggle it over from "reading-headers"
mode to "reading-body" mode.  It's even worse if you have no headers,
but your first body line has a colon in it!

Moral: massage and normalize your text before feeding it to rfc822.
