Just to be nitpicky: is a Jew owned by a non-Jew called an eved 
Ivri?  Also, is a person who is at forced labor but not legally 
considered "owned" an eved?

Regarding the latter: is the mitzvah of pidyon shivuyim different 
from the mitzvah of pidyon of a eved sold to goyim?  That would be 
the nafka mina.
