Interesting.  That's an error I don't think I've seen.  Further, just from
memory anyway, IDR any header that would use commas for separation that
would also use email addresses, thus the @adelphia.net portion.  The
newsgroups header separates with commas, but wouldn't have the @ notation.
The from and reply-to headers would have the @ notation but aren't likely
to have multiple addresses or use commas.  The references and path headers
have multiple entries and references in particular might use @, but they
aren't separated with commas...

If you had the post in question it might be helpful, but it might be
difficult to get it as PAN probably is skipping those posts due to the
parse errors.  Perhaps try with knode or the like, and compare what gets
shown to figure out which messages knode shows that PAN doesn't?

It's also possible you might be able to get more debugging info by running
PAN from a terminal window (konsole, gterm, xterm, whatever), possibly
with one or more debug parameters (try pan --help for the list).
