What Mailman version is this? The above line numbers in Scrubber.py
don't match any of 2.1.7 (when replace_payload_by_text was first
introduced) through 2.1.9. It looks like your version has a modified
(by Ubuntu or ?) version of Scrubber.py that is broken - perhaps
somewhere charset is being assigned us-ascii instead of 'us-ascii'.

The messages are shunted. Once you resolve the Scrubber.py issue, you
can run bin/unshunt and they will be archived.
