The source routing syntax in RFC 2822 differs considerably from
RFC 822.  Is this intentional?

It does? How?

RFC 822 route-addr:      <@host1(_at_)host2:user(_at_)target>

Wrong. # describes a comma-separated list. See 2.7.

RFC 2822 obs-angle-addr: <@host1(_at_)host2:user(_at_)target>
                         <@host1,@host2:user(_at_)target>
                         <@host1 @host2:user(_at_)target>
                         <@host1,,@host2:user(_at_)target>

True; I don't remember seeing that part discussed, but I expect it was to  
match some frequent misspellings. You just demonstrated why that might be  
necessary, by your misreading of 822.
