It *is* a valid RFC 822 address.  Unfortunately, Mailman doesn't work well
with quoted addresses, especially those containing whitespace (it often
breaks things up based on white space, so something like 

   "Bobo the emu of luv"@example.com

will get split into 5 parts).

I had no problems removing entries like this with $PREFIX/bin/remove_members.
Does it give you an error?
