From the perspective of PayPal, it's not that his personal email address is made public. It's that the fact that he has a PayPal account associated with that email address is made public.
It's similar to advice for "forgot password" forms not to acknowledge whether or not an email address or username actually exists--simply tell the user an email was sent for that account regardless.
