I've built and installed Mailman 2.12 from current source code and have it running just fine under OS X Server 10.5.7, with on exception, which is not properly speaking a Mailman problem at all.
If I start Mailman from the CLI, using /usr/share/mailman/bin/ mailmanctl -s start, all is well.
If I allow launchd to start it I get an endless succession of
Jun 18 16:50:26 org.list.mailmanctl[1697]: Starting Mailman's master qrunner.

Known issue, no idea why. I've been running Mailman on Client OS X since the Tiger days. As soon as I upgraded to Leopard, I started seeing this happen intermittently. I have a launchd plist almost identical to yours.
It is intermittent for me. Probably happens about 1 in 3 boots. I try to remember to check that it's running after reboots. If not, I have a cron job that runs hourly to check for the proper number of qrunners and send me e-mail if any or all are missing.
