The problem is the function bbdb/mh-header in bbdb-mhe.el.
I don't think that it should use re-search-forward, and I can see that there
is nothing to anchor the From: to the beginning of a line.  There is even
a comment that it is easily fooled...

I think that it should look with looking-at, until it hits the end of the 
headers.
It's not clear to me that looking-at can be told to match case insentively.

However, I'm sure that bbdb-mhe.el should use some function from mh-e to
get a header from the message.  I just haven't found the right spot in mh-e.

Is https://git.code.sf.net/p/mh-e/git the right upstream source for mh-e?
I feel like that is missing the actual code, and it includes htdocs/
https://sourceforge.net/p/mh-e/git/ci/mh-e-8.6/tree/src/
