Thanks for elaborating and the reference to rfc2440 - I now understand where that stray mail (between [RFC2822] and name-addr) in rfc4880 comes from...
Anyway, I'll treat it as if it says RFC 2822 mailbox and will treat angle brackets with bare addresses as optional.

jap added a comment to T7675: a user-id with just an email address (and not a display name) has no angle brackets surrounding the email address.

I see, I had rfc2440 in mind which says:
By convention, it includes an RFC 822 mail name, but there are no restrictions on its content.
thus 4880 refined it a bit. But in practice it is not the same because it is utf8 and not punycode or whatever. let's close this bug because they way it is used will work with all mail clients.
