I know it can be frustrating, it's happened to me too, but the reality is that email validation generally isn't for you. It's for the 99% of other people who would greatly appreciate the heads up that they've typed "something@yahoocom" or "Boys@MenFan1@whatever.com" and it's probably not what they meant to type.
Now we can talk about HOW validation is implemented, and I think it would be completely fair to raise a warning: "Hey, did you mean to enter this?" instead of "sorry, nope." when non-trivial addresses are encountered.
