Scheduling meetings with a distribution list

It appears that if I schedule a meeting using a distribution list that
Outlook gets confused. If I send out a meeting request with a distribution
list as "Required Attendee", as invitees respond to the meeting request,
their answers come back as if they were "Optional Attendess". Is the fact
that I sent the request out as a distribution list confusing Outlook??
 
Is this a personal distribution list or a DL from the Exchange GAL? In what version of Outlook?

I'm pretty sure you've diagnosed the problem quite nicely. You should see different behavior if you user a personal DL with the same recipients.
