We've decided that you should list women under their maiden names on the family tree. If you do not know a woman's maiden name, please leave her surname blank. We are just trying to be consistent across people and trees.
When you're checking, and you notice that the inputter did not do this correctly, you may remind her/him about the above guideline. There is no need to take the time to change the family tree, in this instance, while you're checking.
You do not have to worry about not listing the woman's married name on the tree. Because her marriage is recorded on the family tree, Ancestry will know the woman's married name is her surname and will use it to generate hints.
