Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to use FiltaQuilla to save emails as... in a filter
That didn't work, so:
Attempt to split .mbox into individual e-mail files using formail
Actual results:
FiltaQuilla returned an unhelpful error code=0x80570021, but did save the e.mail provided there was only one in the respective folder. Saved an empty file if more than one.
Formail did not separate the emails but resaved the whole .mbox with the From line devalidated to >From ("bogus From").
Expected results:
Workaround: Replace all empty "From " delimiters with "\nFrom foo@bar.com foo@bar.com Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 2020" using sed before processing with formail. This worked.

Date after From is back following bug 1911916.
Though what you're reporting is somewhat invalid. The add-on should be more careful.
