ezmlm-weed blocking bounce messages?

I'm running ezmlm-idx 5.1.0.  I was browsing through my qmail logs 
and saw indications that I was getting a lot of messages that were 
probably bounces for a specific list user, but those bounces never 
seemed to be getting into the list bounce directory to be processed 
by ezmlm-warn.

My list bouncer file is the standard one created by ezmlm-make, containing:
ezmlm-weed
ezmlm-return -D listdir

I guessed that maybe ezmlm-weed was throwing away the messages before 
ezmlm-return saw them, so I commented out the ezmlm-weed line.  My 
guess was correct, and after ezmlm-weed was commented out, the 
bounces ended up in the bounce directory.  They look like legitimate 
bounces for a non-existent user, so I don't know why ezmlm-weed 
thought they were weeds.  Here's an example, with the recipient 
address slightly munged for  privacy.
