 This is a follow-up to #39117.

 When I install a new copy of WordPress 4.9, it sends the following message
 to literal address {{{you at example.com}}} at install time:

 {{{
 To: you at example.com
 Subject: [redacted] Notice of Admin Email Change

 Hi,

 This notice confirms that the admin email address was changed on
 [redacted].

 The new admin email address is [redacted].

 This email has been sent to you at example.com

 Regards,
 All at [redacted]
 }}}

 This happens because "wp-admin/includes/schema.php" initially populates
 the database with the placeholder address "you at example.com". Then
 wp_install() calls

 {{{
         update_option('admin_email', $user_email);
 }}}

 And that triggers the new code from the change in #39117 to notice the
 update and send the email message.
