Comment (by JoshRoy):

 We are running into this problem as well. The issue here is that the email
 is getting passed with a backslash to escape the single quote. The email
 getting passed is j.d.o\'farrell at example.com which is essentially
 {{{
 is_email('j.d.o\\\'farrell at example.com');
 }}}
  which fails.
