Sorry for the late response on this matter.

If it solves the problem, should mail-extr.el be modified to
setup syntax tables as you did below?

I'm not sure. It surely accepts a generic character now,
but the concept of generic character is deleted in
emacs-unicode-2 branch (and in comming Emacs 23). So even
if we describe that feature now, it should be reverted quite
soon.
