One can only conclude, they either have a leak in their API, or they
altered the permissions to give out emails when specifically denied, or
they got hacked and didn't disclose it.
They had bug for over a year between ~2012-2013 where contact details
(including email) were unintentionally exposed.
Can't your friends see your email address on Facebook? Wouldn't that
mean that literally anybody could be responsible for leaking this
address?
No certain details (like email address) are 'Only Me' permission on my
Facebook - because it (the email) is only used for Facebook login.
It also occurs to me that your Facebook login can be accessed by nearly
anything that has permission to access your account, regardless of
permissions on the email address itself, and in the past friends' apps
might have been able to access your data.
While I don't recall the specifics, some years ago I had at least one
app I used was able to show me some contact details of my contacts that
weren't visible in Facebook's web interface. Who knows where that data
has ended up.
