I think this has been fixed in Gnus 5.10.6:

ELISP> gnus-version
"Gnus v5.10.6"
ELISP> (with-temp-buffer
         (insert "To: \"Lechtenbörger, Jens\" <jens@foo.bar>")
         (rfc2047-encode-message-header)
         (buffer-string))
"To: =?iso-8859-1?q?Lechtenb=F6rger=2C_Jens?= <jens@foo.bar>"

Dunno about this.  (`mail-utils' is not a part of Gnus.)
