I haven't seen anything quite like that before, but it looks to me like something gone awry with an email validation routine, which might be in Javascript if it's executed client-side before form submission. At least, that's where I would look first. Check also that the @ symbol is properly escaped: it has special-symbol use in multiple programming languages beyond Perl. I'd be curious to see what happens to underscores, hyphens, or other email address TLD's like in yahoo.com.tw.

Sorry, not much help here....

Blessings,
