I might as well add to this list my own personal pet peeve:
The e in "Poulenc" should be pronounced with a "long a" sound (POO-laync), not "ah" (POO-lahnc) as it commonly is in the U.S. Mistakes of this sort (dropping the Z in Boulez, the S in Saint-Saens, the X in Francaix) are hyper-culturalisms. That is, people apply a limited knowledge of French, or whatever language, to a certain word in order to sound more cultured, when the word should in fact be correctly pronounced in the "less cultured" way.
