The email-ext plugin has its own email recipients field, because it is a different setup than the default mailer. While not explicitly discussed in the documentation on the wiki, all examples show filling out the Project Recipient field in either project level or in individual triggers.
DEFAULT_RECIPIENTS follows the naming practice of other tokens such as DEFAULT_SUBJECT and DEFAULT_CONTENT which are also specified in the global config. Both recipient areas are parsed the same way and should allow either space separated or comma separated addresses, if this is not the case, please file an issue in JIRA ([1]). Can you post a screenshot for the following comment? "Oddly ... looking now, I no longer *have* the default email recipients field, maybe mail-ext can now hide that in recent Jenkins versions." I don't quite understand what you mean.
