Shmoel: I would agree. But far-be-it from me to call anyone a Mamzer. If R’ Moshe wanted to say that we assume there is no validity to these marriages at all to avoid Mamzeirus issues then of course that is the Halacha. I still have no idea why, in theory, what I said is incorrect (I don’t think it is). And I don’t know why we would make a couple remarry, unless it would just look strange to say that some of these marriages have no validity whatsoever and that others are fine.
