Like adding jitter to try and disrupt timing attacks, this increases the cost to the attacker but does not actually prevent the attack. If you send a@gmail.com a couple of times, you will get an average length. No matter how much noise, send it enough times and you can get statistical confidence in the average length. There's also the issue that adding random incompressable junk to your packets sort of defeats the point of compressing them in the first place.
