If it is a sandbox and you really don't care if you accidentally break something, then I guess it's ok to apply the maintenance to a live system. Maybe it has something to do with the library taking an extent? Even though PDSE can reuse space, this won't happen for an open data set in the LNKLST. Just a swag, this could be WAD or a bug... it's not like there have never been any bugs with PDSE or LLA. :-) If this was some sort of emergency and you needed to do this to a production system without taking an outage, I would first remove the library from LLA control (with F LLA,UPDATE=xx to bring the other thread into this) and then try again. Then add the library back to LLA control.
