A couple of things:
That is expected behaviour, email address in reminders applies coordination. It's basically parsing your command correctly 'email this address'.
Second, the zdnet post you link to towards the end is full of inaccuracies:

A proper way to do it is, Title: "Email Alice", Description: "alice@example.com".
You can't change the behaviour of users, but you can make your software easier to use and more predictable in its behaviour.
At present there's no way to predict the behavior until after the fact. Something with that much consequence (sending an email to an unintended recipient) should never be done silently. By all means take the initiative with autofill etc, but the user should have the final say.
If the supposed design revolution within Google (http://www.fastcodesign.com/3016268/google-the-redesign) isn't just for show, the Calendar team (assuming there even is an ongoing team) clearly hasn't been touched by it and that ought to be corrected.
Generally, I thought Google hired smarter people than you seem to be, so possibly you're some sort of false-flag bullshit.
Except the "3" at the end, their pseudonym is identical to yours. Here on HN people do not like fake accounts.
And is it actual rate limiting? Try clicking the [link] url, whic should give you a reply text box.
Disclosing company affiliations is polite.
Not making comments in public fora, but letting company spokespeople do it, is a practice I dislike but which I understand having seen the mess you've made with your comments.
The violet blue article is lousy. If there are errors it should be easy enough to find corrections. Take the time to do it properly - find the sources, pull out relevant quotes, build the post. Put that as a blog post and get hits, or put it as an answer in the thread and get upvotes.
As a user, I would never have guessed that Calendar would do this. It frightens me in much the same ways that Buzz did. (And Buzz did leak some data that I considered very private.)
Google employee, or rabid google fan? I can't decide.
