I suspect this is caused by a change to the configure script, where it
will now use the `mailman' group as the default for --with-mail-gid,
if it finds one. Is gid 12 the mailman group?

You definitely do not need to do either such drastic thing! Just
re-run configure with --with-mail-gid=501 --prefix=/home/mailman then
re-run "make install" and you should be golden.
