I did a bit more digging and found that the lists which don't work have
no entries in /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

Obviously a problem!  Tried creating another list and found that entries
were created in /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman and indeed, that
one works (although with other issues, which I'll post on separately). 
Having gone through the same process for both, I am at a loss to
understand this, but does this info add anything to the understanding of
anyone else?
