Arg... a minute later the answer occurs to me: the redhat distribution
of Mailman includes a helpful redirect that says:

 RedirectMatch /mailman[/]*$ http://www.mysite.com/mailman/listinfo

that really should have said 

 RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.mysite.com/mailman/listinfo

...because otherwise, anything ending in "/mailman" gets redirected,
effectively blocking access to a mailing list named "mailman".

Looks like redhat has already noticed and fixed the problem in newer
distributions:
