Because the method which is used to remove the member is more general
than that.

It appears something is messed up in the lists config.pck or perhaps
there is a transparent character or something similar in the actual
member address.

Try:

bin/withlist aaac
Loading list aaac (unlocked)
The variable `m' is the aaac MailList instance
>>>m.getMembers()

and see what is returned (type control-D to the next >>> prompt)

Or try bin/dumpdb lists/aaac/config.pck and look at the lists

'members':

and

'digest_members':

If possible, do this from a terminal/console that can display
'transparent' characters.

OTOH, since you've already blown off the membership, why not just use
bin/config_list -o to dump the configuration, and remove, recreate the
list, and use bin/config_list -i to reconfigure the list?

Or you can do

bin/withlist -l aaac
Loading list aaac (locked)
The variable `m' is the aaac MailList instance
>>>m.members = {}
>>>m.digest_members = {}
>>>m.language = {}
>>>m.passwords = {}
>>>m.user_options = {}
>>>m.usernames = {}
>>>m.Save()
>>>                  (enter control-D here)
