Nested headlines being translated to lists was always a misfeature in the old exporter. This was extensibly discussed on the list before Nicolas implemented the current beamer exporter. I do not see any reason to not "fix" old inconsistent behaviour for the sake of backwards compatibility. That said, I think the best way to deal with this is to follow what Nicolas suggested, mark the subtree and then do `C-c -' to convert these headlines into lists. This can be automated to a significant degree by using keyboard macros or custom lisp. A well tested keyboard macro can be easily saved and used as a command. Since the OP says his old beamer presentations number in the hundreds, the way I would approach this is to keep the macro/function handy and convert it if and when these presentations are required. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
