So after some digging we finally came across this KB Article that describes the problem and how to resolve it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951578

Essentially, when installing an Exchange 2007 Mailbox cluster, the passive node is granted Full Control over the Clustered Mailbox server Active Directory object. This gives it Exchange Server Administrator rights and manifests itself by showing an error when viewing the Organization Configuration or when running the get-ExchangeAdministrator PowerShell command. The error that is given is: The account is not a member of Exchange View Only Administrators
