This also occurs with Mutt/1.9.2+41. I would say that's a bug. I don't know whether in the latest RFC's, space characters are accepted or not in e-mail addresses, but in any case, either the e-mail address should be accepted as is, or there should be an error message.
I checked RFCs 5322 and 6532 (both of the latest relevant documents) since I was worried about possible disagreement. But they agree perfectly, and an address containing a bare space is illegal while one containing a quoted space is legal.
Strangely, my version of mutt seems to eliminate all the backslashes except one, and all the spaces. Entering '\\\ ' is the same as '\\ '.
