Comment (by sshanky):

 This might be what is happening...It doesn't quite explain why, after
 clicking the confirmation link in the email, the admin email was set to
 the old admin's email address. Perhaps I thought I clicked the link but I
 didn't?

 In any case, I would propose that it might be clearer if the verbiage in
 the email was more precise -- rather than using

 >This email has been sent to ###EMAIL###

 which doesn't clearly state that ###EMAIL### is the proposed new email, a
 more instructive approach might be to change the email to read something
 like:


 {{{
 $email_text = __(
                 'Howdy ###USERNAME###,

 You recently requested to have the administration email address on
 your site changed to:

 ###EMAIL###

 If this is correct, please click on the following link to confirm this
 email and change it:
 ###ADMIN_URL###

 You can safely ignore and delete this email if you do not want to
 take this action.

 Regards,
 All at ###SITENAME###
 ###SITEURL###'
         );

 }}}

 Thanks for the reply. I'll play with it some more and come back if I can
 reproduce the behavior. For now we should probably close this issue.
