There's not really much you can do. These are bounces that came back to the mailing list system, but they are not in one of the formats that Mailman has been programmed to deal with.
If you're getting a whole lot of them, you could find out what the format (or formats) is/are and how to properly deal with them. Then, you could contribute to Mailman either Python code to handle the situation, or at least the knowledge to the group in the hopes that someone else will be able to write the Python code in question.

Failing that, you can set the option the Bounce processing page to not send these notices to the list owner. I'm not sure I'd want to do that, but if you get nothing but spam as uncaught bounces, it might be the best option you have.

The msgs are invariably about big boobs and viagra...
Wonder if this msg will get filtered out because of that line...

I get a lot of spam coming to some of my lists bounce address too. I hacked the BounceRunner to consult the KNOWN_SPAMMERS variable and that helps cut down on it a bit. I'm still not sure if there are ways that could cause problems for me or not, but it hasn't seemed to so far.
