After beating my head on various keyboards and walls, and doing a fair about of cursing, I finally found the problem!
Turns out somehow the non-lowercase email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (notice the capital 'P') managed to get into the supposed-to-be-only-lowercase database. I don't know how, but I leave that as an exercise for the developers. :) The way I fixed it was I temporarily commented out the "member.lower()" call in OldStyleMemberships.py in the remove member function, removed the address, then undid my changes. I'm sure there's an easier way but like I said before, I don't know jack about Python. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can keep this from happening again, I'd like to hear them.
