When I enter fred@gmali.com on their validation demo, I get a 'Did you mean' message, but the icon is a warning indicator (yellow exclamation point), rather than the error indicator (red cross).
When I enter fred@gmal.com, I get a 'Did you mean' message, with the red cross error icon.
I presume this means that it's detecting that gmali.com is a valid domain and can receive e-mail, but for most people it's not what they actually meant, whereas gmal.com is both a probable typo and a domain that cannot receive e-mail, and therefore invalid.
In other words, I think it's doing the right thing, in that it's detecting that fred@gmali.com is a valid address, but warning you that it's not the correct one. I think there is definitely a usability improvement though, as it's easy to miss the yellow warning icon, and assume that it's actually telling you that you can't use that address.
