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,
