No it wouldn't. The problem is that people believe they have addresses they don't. They don't have [email protected] any more than they have [email protected].
I have a surname@ address, and I receive similar mails all the time. People just simply assume they have my email address. No dots involved.

It would go away for me because no one ever uses the real first.m.last address; all the misdirected mail is from people who think firstmlast is their email address.
