AOL "mailbox full" bounces vs. ezmlm-return

I was browsing through my qmail logs and saw inbound messages that
looked like AOL bouncing messages from an ezmlm-idx list. For some
reason, it didn't look like they were being processed by the
ezmlm-return bounce handler. I sent a test message to the address in
question, and got back a "mailbox full" bounce which is presumably
the same kind of message that was being sent to the list-return
address. The bounce is included below. I read the ezmlm-weed man
page to see if it could be weeding out these bounces, and it's not
really clear. The part that confuses me says
Delivery-status notification (DSN, rfc1891). All DSN messages with
``Action'' other than ``failed'':
Content-type: multipart/report
The bounce does have a Content-type: multipart/report header, but it
also contains
Action: failed
From the format of man ezmlm-weed, it's not clear whether it thinks
Content-type: multipart/report means ``Action'' other than ``failed''
Has anybody else noticed what their ezmlm-idx is doing with AOL
"mailbox full" messages? I'm running ezmlm-idx-5.1.0. Is it
intentional that "mailbox full" messages are not treated like other
bounces? I've seen debates on other lists about whether the
receiving server should return a temporary 4xx error or a permanent
5xx one for a full mailbox, since it might be only full temporarily.
But it looks like AOL has decided it deserves a permanent error, so
shouldn't ezmlm-idx treat it as a permanent error?
