Behaviour is correct.

% mimehdr_string -d '=?iso-8859-2?Q?Kr=F3l=2C_Piotr?='
Król, Piotr

The comma (hex 2C) separates list items, so once you've decoded the header,
without quotes around the name, you have two items in the address-list, "Król"
without an address, and "Piotr" with.

Adding quotes automatically would break what the actual content is, for
comparisons.

I'm too tired to be definitive, but I'm not spotting a reasonable change to
Exim's behaviour here, so I think that ${addresses:...} is only safe with the
raw header.

Perhaps there should be enough context propagation to have Exim warn if using
non-raw headers inside something like ${addresses:..}, which ignores the
MIME-encodable portions anyway?
