Incorrect email address - a bug?
Just trying a number of things I don't usually play with as a list server admin. This one is odd.
Going to the member options page from the general info page (not logged in as an admin), I enter my email address on the latter and get the login page for user list management. The page shows, quite correctly, "<listname> list: member options for user fmouse@fmp.com". When I request a Password reminder it doesn't arrive. The mail server log shows that Mailman is trying to send to "fmouse-owner@fmp.com" - no such user!! A bug? This address is also reflected in the VERP sender address. fmouse@fmp.com isn't an owner of the list, just a subscriber. I _can_ log in as an administrator using my skeleton key pw, but when this happens, I'm not logged in as one (if I am, of course, I go straight to the member options page w.o. being asked to authenticate).

"fmouse-owner@fmp.com" is not a subscriber to the list.

Is the list's General Options -> umbrella_list set to Yes? I suspect so. This causes things like password reminders for members like user@example.com to be sent to userXXX@example.com where XXX is umbrella_member_suffix (default -owner) so that they aren't sent to the actual member address which in the case of an umbrella list is another list, not an individual.

Ah-HA! Thanks, Mark. This wasn't intentionally set by me, maybe accidentally, or by the list administrators for whom I set up the list.
That solved it :)
