I just did, and I don't see the bug (in Emacs 28.2).  The mbox file I
get does include a line that begins with ">From", but in the message
buffer presented by Rmail to me I see just "From", with the ">"
removed.

I see the same in Emacs 28.1, so I'm unsure why you see the problem
there.  Maybe the reproduction recipe above is too simple, and
something else is missing to reproduce the problem?
