This would arise in the notmuch email reader, which would decode the
address to UTF-8 before calling this function.  So you can get the
behavior by doing:

(ietf-drums-parse-address "Philipp Überbacher <foo <at> bar.com>")
; -> ("foo <at> bar.com" . "Philipp berbacher")

When this happens, there is also a message displayed in the echo area:
“Unknown symbol: Ü”.

Thanks,
