the former is scary

Depends a lot on context. If Twitter had said "FYI, one of your e-mail addresses is currently publicly visible on our service, expect a deluge of e-mail", I don't see a huge problem. If they said "Hey, want us to ban this guy?" then that's something different.

From here[1]:

The team working closely with NBC around our Olympics partnership did proactively identify a Tweet that was in violation of the Twitter Rules and encouraged them to file a support ticket with our Trust and Safety team to report the violation, as has now been reported publicly.

Looks like your latter situation is exactly how it went down.
