This issue is also reproducible on the latest Aurora 46.0a2 when e10s is enabled.

I honestly think that the behavior should be: if the user starts typing an email address there, we should automatically check the checkbox (1).

When you think about it, the checkbox is really pointless: either the user leaves a blank e-mail field and doesn't want to be contacted, or enters an e-mail and do. (2)

What about changing the patch to do (1), and we file a new bug to discuss more about removing the checkbox and changing the placeholder text to make (2) clear?
