You can exclude usergroups from the settings menu under "Protected usergroups" (to prevent usergroup changes" Or under "Untouchable usergroups" to prevent any actions such unsubscribing or PM's.

But if they register with a wrong email, you'd only get 1 or two bounces. If your bounce limit is 25 or 50, they wouldn't be affected.

Second question -- does this (or will it plan to) address those who have email notifications on PMs in that it will remove this flag from their profile? I would even go as far as to say that if their email is bad, I would like ALL subscriptions and email notifications to be disabled.

It's doable if you guys really want it.

But the main purpose for vBouncer is to prevent server spikes due to the volume of emails generated during busy hours for new replies and subsequent notifications of new replies. Reducing this volume through unsubscribing bouncing members is the main purpose.

An occasional email to notify about a PM doesn't have that impact on the server
