Comment:

 Well, from _my_ reading of RFC 2047 and RFC 822,

 RFC 822, 4.1 SYNTAX:
 {{{
 originator  =   authentic                   ; authenticated addr
               [ "Reply-To"   ":" 1#address] )

 authentic   =   "From"       ":"   mailbox  ; Single author
             / ( "Sender"     ":"   mailbox  ; Actual submittor
                 "From"       ":" 1#mailbox) ; Multiple authors
                                             ;  or not sender
 }}}

 RFC 822, 6.1 SYNTAX:
 {{{
 mailbox     =  addr-spec                    ; simple address
             /  phrase route-addr            ; name & addr-spec

 route-addr  =  "<" [route] addr-spec ">"

 route       =  1#("@" domain) ":"           ; path-relative

 addr-spec   =  local-part "@" domain        ; global address
 }}}

 and RFC 2047, 6.1. Recognition of 'encoded-word's in message headers:
 {{{
 (2) Any header field not defined as '*text' should be parsed
     according to the syntax rules for that header field.  However,
     any 'word' that appears within a 'phrase' should be treated as an
     'encoded-word' if it meets the syntax rules in section 2.
     Otherwise it should be treated as an ordinary 'word'.
 }}}

 this is for sure mutt's own bug.

 Gmail is encoding the 'phrase', not the 'addr-spec', which is perfectly
 ok.
