Well, it looks that way.

I don't know for sure, which is why I wanted someone to address it
who's more familiar with the standards than I am.

Sure.

It didn't seem to, but I think I fell for a defvar not getting
replaced, since the horrible mess of require'ments means you can't
unload the rfc2047 feature. [rfc2047.el really shouldn't depend on
`message-posting-charset', for instance, even if people are set
against providing a general MIME library.]
In a fresh Emacs the patched version does do the trick, thanks.
However, clearly the result for the typical form of address used in
the microshaft world is bogus:
(with-temp-buffer
(insert "To: \"Großjohann, K (Kai)\" <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE>
")
(rfc2047-encode-message-header)
(buffer-string))
=> "To:
\"=?iso-8859-1?q?Gro=DFjohann,_K_(Kai)\"_<Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dort?=
=?iso-8859-1?q?mund.DE>?=
"
Sorry, I don't have time to grovel the RFCs. Is one simply not
allowed to use such addresses? If so, Gnus should warn rather than
completely mangling it.

That seems unfortunate. People reporting bugs will potentially miss
discussion.
