When an email address fails to validate, the message presented to the browser is:
A legal address must contain exactly one '@', and at least one '.' after the @. It must also not contain any of these special characters: \ ( ) & < > , ; : " [ ], or any whitespace.
However, as defined by RFC 2822, section 3.2.4, '&' is a legal character.

This is an issue with Bugzilla as a whole, rather than this particular installation. I've just reported it in the right place:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465248
But I'll leave this one open just in case Brad's willing to hack the local installation in the meantime.

Won't be fixing locally.. but if it's fixed upstream we'll pick it up. Looking at the bug report, it's not fixed there either, though there's a proposed change to the regexp. I've yet to have anyone complain that they need an & in a bugzilla email address.
Closing.

This was mistakenly marked as FIXED by a PR to the dub repository, so I've reset it to WONTFIX.
