Understood. Since this is really a new installation (I didn't copy archives from the old system because they're not really of any use), $prefix/archives doesn't exist yet. I'll keep the above in mind and implement it when list traffic commences on this installation.
$prefix/archives and the private/ and public/ sub-directories thereof are created on installation, and if Mailman is running there must be a 'mailman' site list and thus $prefix/archives/private/mailman/ and $prefix/archives/private/mailman.mbox/ subdirectories whether or not they contain any actual archives.
Further, If $prefix/archives/private didn't exist, check_perms would have thrown a "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:" exception instead of reporting it was o+x.
