Turns out you can't have the "\" character in your personal quoted 
information.  From RFC 2822 [3.2.5]:

3.2.5. Quoted strings

...

qtext           =       NO-WS-CTL /     ; Non white space controls

                        %d33 /          ; The rest of the US-ASCII
                        %d35-91 /       ;  characters not including "\"
                        %d93-126        ;  or the quote character

qcontent        =       qtext / quoted-pair

...

   As stated earlier, the "\" in any quoted-pair and
   the CRLF in any FWS/CFWS that appears within the quoted-string are
   semantically "invisible" and therefore not part of the quoted-string
   either.

Therefore, it is an invalid name.  I am going to add a check to identities 
that prevents these characters from being allowed.
