One other question I forgot to ask as a possible solution is whether 
there is some receiver "expected" responsibility during the DATA state 
to transparently undo the QP conversion line by line so that it can 
detect lines like the above and see its actually one line and not a 
<CR><LF>.<CR><LF> sequence?

That would sound to me to be unreasonable to expect.
