it is an intended feature, otherwise the whole mechanism is worthless.
the default-value for spamProtectEmailAddresses_atSubst is '(at)' as you 
can read in TSRef [1]

if you replace '@' with '@' any email-harvester [2] will gather your 
emails as they process not only email-links but anything matching common 
email-pattern (therefore '#64' also is no good substitution)
