I don't know what Keith Moore could mean by that. RFC2047 (section 5, item 3)
states:
  + An 'encoded-word' MUST NOT appear within a 'quoted-string'.

Quotes are required by RFC822, since without quoting, the comma is a delimiter
between addresses -- as you see. Since we cannot include the encoded-word
*within* the quoted-string, the quotes must be part of the encoded-word.

This is indeed the same issue as bug 122972 and bug 249626 (Thunderbird and the
suite share this code). Those bugs are also invalid.

Bug 231732 is unrelated.
