The use of the group syntax <LIST:ietf-822(_at_)imc(_dot_)org;> meets the 
syntax of
RFC 2822, and messages containing it should therefore pass freely through
all normal agents. It does not violate RFC 2822 in any way.

RFC 2277 is not mandatory. However, it is indeed somewhat dubious
practice to use keywords in fields not specifically designed for them.
OTOH, what CAN you use in a group-name that is not intended as an
identifier?

you're not using "LIST" to name the group, you are using it to
make an assertion about the group.   and even then, it's not at all 
clear why a list should be treated differently than any other recipient.
