Commit b3f041fb0f7de167dbb6711b0a231d36c4b5de08 titled 'git-am support for
naked email messages (take 2)' by H. Peter Anvin from December 2005 seems
to indicate otherwise.

IMHO, I think something was indeed broken here, but it is a moot point
since it will all be fixed (or "enhanced" depending on your POV) soon. :)
