It is considered a feature in GLib to reject these formats, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679957

"The additional formats parsed by inet_aton() are not actually part of any standard, were not much used historically, and are only ever used now by phishers trying to obscure the domain name in URLs (eg, http://yourbank.com@1539136771/)"
