Hmm, this sounds strangely familiar to a problem of mine.  As an owner who
is specified in the header to receive our list's error messages, I
sporadically receive "normal-looking" list digests even though I am not
subscribed to receive such digests. It doesn't matter whether I am
subscribed to receive individual messages, or am not subscribed to our list
at all.  I still get the digests occasionally, sometimes several a day.
 
Currently all four of our owners are set to receive error messages.  Another
listowner is having the same problem.  The other two owners have not
mentioned getting the unwanted digests.
 
I too use multiple accounts.  The digests always come to the account where I
am an active owner and/or receive the error messages.  Have no pattern or
clues to what's causing it.
