Initial Comment:
when approving a message via email, if you type:
Approved: passwrd

in the headers of a response to the confirmation
message, when the actual password is 'password', the
message you're trying to approve is discarded;  I think
that no action (and an "incorrect password" error
message in response) would be more appropriate.

Also, as I've mentioned before, it would be very nice
if the exact action being performed were listed, rather
than the generic "confirmation succeeded" message.

After re-reading this bug report, I believe Mailman is
working as expected.  If you read the body of the
confirmation message, you'll see that replying to it keeping
the subject intact always discards the original message.

The way to approve it is to resend the first message in the
digest, which is the original held message.   Add Approved:
password header to the resend, and then reply to the
confirmation message to get rid of the old hold.

I admit this isn't the most convenient way to do it, but for
now that's it.
