Editing the web_page-url needs to be done carefully. Doing without the 
ability to edit it (like in MM 2.1); fine until you actually need to change 
it for a single list.

Anyway putting the following script in your $prefix/bin directory and using 
it per directions may help your problem:

start fix-url.py ------------------------------------------------------------

"""Reset a list's web_page_url attribute to the default setting.
