No list should ever be owned by itself.

Why do you think that?

I don't know what the specific issue is with this list or why it
doesn't occur with other lists, but as I said, a list should never be
owned by itself. I'm sure if you remove the list posting address from
owner (and moderator if it's there) your problem will be solved.

FWIW, I may lack imagination, but I can't think why you would want list
owner notifications to be sent to the list.
