I misread it. The "local" part is a "dot-atom", which contains text defined by

atext           =       ALPHA / DIGIT / ; Any character except controls,
                        "!" / "#" /     ;  SP, and specials.
                        "$" / "%" /     ;  Used for atoms
                        "&" / "'" /
                        "*" / "+" /
                        "-" / "/" /
                        "=" / "?" /
                        "^" / "_" /
                        "`" / "{" /
                        "|" / "}" /
                        "~"

This excludes "specials" (which '[' is part of), so this is a better reason why '[' should be disallowed.

That RFC also mentions "obsolete addressing", where the local part
can be any "word", but "word" is modelled with the above atext, still without '['.

(Just an observation from someone who happens to be reading that RFC
just now, this isn't an official answer from the kmail team, I didn't implement
the email-address checking in kmail)
