They won't work in django, or at least to send emails to them:

>>> from django.core.mail import send_mail
>>> send_mail('Subject here', 'Message here', 'fromaddress@here.com', [ u'toaddress+黒@here.com', ], fail_silently=False)
Traceback (most recent call last):

result.append(formataddr((nm, str(addr))))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u9ed2' in

Django expects email addresses to be US-ASCII only.
