Missing dot (.) in email address - getProfileUserInfo() on Chrome OS -

i use identity.getprofileuserinfo() logged-in user's e-mail address. however, on chrome os (beta, channel 44) dot (.) - if present - removed address.

for example, if address first.last@domain.com returned address firstlast@domain.com

the same api returns correct/full address in chrome on windows.

has run problem? workarounds?

consumer gmail ignores dots/periods in username, gmail google apps does not, i.e. consumer gmail addresses username@gmail.com, user.name@gmail.com , u.s.e.r.n...a.m.e@gmail.com same.

i don't know of email service this, , other services know consider "dotted" gmail addresses distinct "undotted" variant.

getprofileuserinfo() either normalizes email address stripping periods or account logged in chrome os dotted variant of email address.
