That is because you are not actually supposed to evaluate that form.
It is a splitting rule, not an expression to be evaluated.

Why did you try to eval it?  This is simply a snippet of what you may
wish to set nnmail-split-fancy to.  There is a very clear example of
this in the documentation of that variable.

Please read the fine manual.
