It should have occurred to me earlier, but the fact that these guys are writing trojans backdoor programs to send spam from normal users' computers--a much harder job than doing OCR on graphics containing e-mail addresses--indicates to me that if they're not scraping all of the obfuscated addresses out there, it's because they don't need to.
