Not a whole lot of help from the list. But I have answered my own problem:

The error I'm getting is one I have seen mention of before in the archives:
Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 44, in ? import paths File "bin/paths.py", line 55, in ? import japanese ImportError: No module named japanese
The answer was in README.LINUX, of course: install python2-devel. Worked fine after that.
Things to consider:
- The failure did not halt the install, although it did make it impossible for it to complete. But the relevant messages were *way* back, and probably meaningless to a non-technical person, at a guess.
I still think that the failure should stop the install, rather than allowing it to merrily continue without having installed everything it needed, only to be brought up short with the above message.
Take care,
Liam
