This is due to sympa.pl doing a 'new LIst' too early, when -subscribe,
-request,.. are concerned.
But this does not have consequence on sympa.pl behavior ; it is just a
matter of filling log files
(and needlessly worrying the listmaster ;-).
Attached is a patch for this problem (against 3.4.3.1)

Are the adresses corresponding to those bounces present in the
subscriber DB table ?
The bouncing addresses shown by WWSympa are based on entries in this DB
table ;
check your (MySQL ?) DB tables, and especially the '
bounce_subscriber' field.

WWSympa keeps track of previous actions for instance to send people
back the a list homepage
after they logged in. In your situation, you first did a search on
subscribers and then deleted one of them.
WWSympa keeps track of your latest action 'search' and tries to perform
a search after the delete was done
but the filter is missing. 
We should fix this to refer to 'review' as the previous action.
If you don't mind, please add this to the bug tracking system.

Thanks.
