I just checked. It's this rule from /usr/sausalito/schemas/basetypes.schema:

<!-- alphanum_plus_multiline is alphanumeric data plus a "safe" subset
of punctuation for use in textareas -->
<typedef
	name="alphanum_plus_multiline"
	type="re"
	data="^([A-Za-z0-9\\._-]{2,})(([,]|[\\r\\n])[A-Za-z0-9\\._-]{2,})*$"
/>

So the input must have a minimum of two characters as per the {2,}
definition in the above rule. This is done to prevent email aliases such
as ".", "-" or "_", while still allowing them within longer aliases.

Otherwise we end up with an alias such as . at domain.com, - at domain.com or
_ at domain.com.

I'll see what I can do.
