Somehow the From: line arrived at uunet as roy@phri. uunet
mapped that into roy%phri@uunet.uu.net which is a valid address.

UUNET is smart enough to figure out if the site is a uucp site or
an arpa site, so in fact the mail will get delivered. There is nothing
wrong with that address. However, it would be nice to determine where
the domain got stripped.
