The function bbdb-extract-address-components passes the return value of
mail-extract-address-components through bbdb-clean-address-components
that calls the user-defined functions bbdb-message-clean-name-function
and bbdb-message-clean-mail-function.  But it seems to me that these
user functions should be needed only for very exotic cases.  So yes, it
seems to me that mail-extract-address-components is really the most
appropriate place to deal with your issue.  (It's my point of view that
BBDB should not try to reinvent the wheel if it deals with problems that
are not BBDB-specific which, I believe, is the case here.)  Therefore,
I suggest to file a bug report for mail-extract-address-components.
