This smells like the bug that bit me some time ago and got fixed in
September Gnus.  How do things work if you unconditionally set
(setq mail-use-rfc822 t)
in your .emacs?

emacs19.30:(defvar mail-use-rfc822 nil "\
*If non-nil, use a full, hairy RFC822 parser on mail addresses.
Otherwise, (the default) use a smaller, somewhat faster, and
often correct parser.")

The valid rfc822 address ``steve@miranova.com (Steve "Dumb Blonde" Baur)''
is one such address handled incorrectly when this variable is not set.
