Perhaps, that's because you don't have any alias settings in
~/.mailrc.

Ok.  Just done.

My Emacs (compiled with CFLAGS='-g -DENABLE_CHECKING') has
just crashed as this:

cmds.c:495: Emacs fatal error: assertion failed: SYMBOLP(sym)
[Switching to Thread 0xb70e0700 (LWP 6775)]

Breakpoint 1, abort () at emacs.c:433

	str = "@\000\000\000"
	chars_to_delete = 0
	spaces_to_insert = 0
[...]
(gdb) up 2
(gdb) list
490	      sym = call0 (Qexpand_abbrev);
491	
492	      /* If we expanded an abbrev which has a hook,
493		 and the hook has a non-nil `no-self-insert' property,
494		 return right away--don't really self-insert.  */
495	      if (! NILP (sym) && ! NILP (XSYMBOL (sym)->function)
496		  && SYMBOLP (XSYMBOL (sym)->function))
497		{
498		  Lisp_Object prop;
499		  prop = Fget (XSYMBOL (sym)->function, intern ("no-self-insert"));
(gdb) pp sym
(64 46 37 33 95 45)
(gdb)

FYI, (string 64 46 37 33 95 45) => "@.%!_-".

This is reproducible by this scenario:

% emacs -Q
C-x m
M-x message-mode
handa@

Emacs crashes when I type the last "@" (in To: subject
line).  It seems that "handa" can be any other string.  It
is reproducible with EMACS_23_1_RC branch too.

In the above code, at least we should have a ckeck of
SYMBOLP (sym).
