Thanks for the hint!

The code of mail-e-a-c spans more than 700 lines, whereas gnus-e-a-c
has only 27 lines. Therefore it's even more surprising that mail-e-a-c
fails for the given example (assuming it's a valid RFC-822 address),
which probably occurs quite often in real life [1]. mail-e-a-c also
fails for this:
(car (mail-extract-address-components "\"K.-H. Foo\" <foo@bar.invalid>"))
==> nil
