I'm not convinced that's really true.
You obviously have some system that generates the messages based on
bounces and that records which message bounced. If many subscribers
bounce the same mail that's a good indication that it's spam.
Perhaps instead of sending these content-free notes that we're going to
be unsubscribed some time, after some undisclosed number of bounces,
listmasters could consider these messages as hints with which to adjust
the spam filter used.
