So what could be a use case to reproduce. Perhaps we try reproduce it and
you put it there. I think it is odd that the code is hard to read and if
you can not reproduce .... then you can forget fixing it.

So in my opinion it is not hard to reproduce

1. type or select multiple addresses

2. save as distribution

3. Distribution List is saved in the default address book

BEGIN:VCARD
FN:Test Distribution
N:Test Distribution;;;;
UID:hjbtfTcTxO
VERSION:3.0
X-KADDRESSBOOK-DistributionList:;07ZaRSi6lU\,;JdvldQmgHs\,
END:VCARD

4. Open new e-mail
5. Select saved distribution from 2
6. Send mail

In my case I have received the e-mails and the \, is there.

My question to you is how the \, disappeared in your case?

I think the \, should not be there, but perhaps there is a reason for that.
I am also not sure it is a good idea to have the UID of the recipient as
the recipient may have many e-mail.
