This error is due to one of several known incompatibilities between Mailman versions older than 2.1.12 and Python 2.6 or later. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/pYA9>.
If suse is packaging Mailman 2.1.11 with the Python 2.6.5 that you are apparently using, this is a serious suse packaging problem.
If you have upgraded your Python independent of suse, perhaps you can also install Mailman 2.1.14-1 or even the head of the Bazaar lp:mailman/2.1 branch.
As you have observed, this particular error only results in the bug page rather than the appropriate subscription results page, but other errors due to this incompatibility will be more disruptive.
