I think this behaviour is all right. There is a punycode form for IDN domains, 
and 
filter_var undestands it well enough, yet not without some issues. But I think 
punycode is way to go.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode

And by the way, "тест@тест.рф" is invalid email anyway, because mailbox can't 
contain IDN characters, I think it violates some basic SMTP RFC. Valid domain 
would be like "test@тест.рф".

Signed.

Function must be refactored.

Actually, this is not a bug, because the documentation[1] states:

| In general, this validates e-mail addresses against the syntax
| in RFC 822, [...]

However, IDNs are not allowed by RFC 822, let alone local parts
with non ASCII characters; these are subject of RFC 6530-6533.
Therefore I'm switching to feature request, and do not mark this
ticket as duplicate of request #39469, because that request is
only about IDN support.

Unicode in the local-part of email addresses is supported through
the FILTER_FLAG_EMAIL_UNICODE flag as of PHP 7.1.0, see
<https://3v4l.org/vVCS1>.

Support for IDN is already covered by request #39469, so I'm
closing this ticket.
