Lookup - Dropdown not displaying the whole lookup value

I have a lookup field that contains the following:
Table: LookupTable
Link Field: DisplayValue
Display Field: DisplayValue
Order By: LastName

Edit box with AJAX popup, allow free input, allow multiple selection

LookupTable:
Display Value = "Jim Jones <jim.jones@example.com>"
LastName Value = "Jones"

Why is it when I start to type "Jim Jones" that the edit box only displays "Jim Jones" vs "Jim Jones <jim.jones@example.com>". Once I select the entry, the edit box displays "Jim Jones <jim.jones@example.com>" like it should. I need to see the complete value when searching as there may be a "Jim Jones <jim.jones@example.com>" and a "Jim Jones <jim.jones@anotherdomain.com>". There is no way to tell which record is being selected if I only see the "Jim Jones" part.

Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

This is how the dropdown looks:

This is how the result looks:

Apparently, this is a bug in 10.91 and has been patched.
