Non-member can also mean "accept emails from these address right away" so it's not negative meaning all the time but as you said, I agree.It can be positive or negative indeed, But it is still strange, that you can see that you are a non-member, in principle it is of no use, as you can't change anything on it, and I think these are settings for the the admins/moderators of the lists with no need for the users to see it.
I agree that it's weird (not necessarily *wrong*, but weird). There's an upstream ticket[1] to remove this listing, and it seems like the developers would accept a patch if someone wrote one.
I quickly tried to put one e-mail address in the 'Accept these non-members' section, and it wasn't converted to a non-member so it seems the lists there work as well. Didn't completely test if it works but I assume it will, as otherwise there would be more complaints.
My understanding is that the "Accept these non-members" text box is mostly a legacy thing from before the non-members interface existed but it does have some useful functionality like wildcards, e.g. accepting ^.*@example.org.
The box also has a size limit, but it's so large (~64kb) that you'll never hit it...I hope. :-)
