Nelson:

    Does the list continue to operate normally? I guess if
you had Errors-to= Owners (with an "s") instead of "Owner"
then LISTSERV(tm) could try to send an error to a bogus
address.
    But if the lists are running ok then you probably could
do what KSU suggested and just notify the owners that they
should edit the owner field when they update their list
next (or see that error when saving).

That is invalid, and when saving, throws an error. We have hundreds (probably over a thousand) in this format and have been that way "forever." School is about to open and lots of people are going to encounter this error- a problem for them and a public relations disaster for Listserv. Yeah, we should have picked this up earlier, but we were in a bit of a hurry to get upgraded, being so far behind.
