And I wish I could help you as easily this time as last, but I can't.

This error is in cPanel specific modifications to Mailman having to do
with adding '_domain' to list names to support the 'same' list name in
multiple domains.

I don't know specifically what their patches are in this area. The only
cPanel patches I am aware of are those at
<http://koston.org/mailman-patches/mailman-2.1.3-cpanel.diff>, and the
above error didn't come from those patches either.

If you just installed a cPanel update to Mailman, that is where the
error is - it looks to me like a coding error rather than something
specific to your lists.

If you post the definition of HasExplicitDest from
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py, i.e. that part
that begins with

    def HasExplicitDest(self, msg):

through the next 'def', I might be able to suggest a fix, but the best
thing might be to back out the update if that's what's causing it (or
see if cPanel has a fix).
