How about the list you just moved?

Both the above traceback from list_lists and the Bug from the listinfo
overview page say that the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file is corrupt
for some list. The most likely candidate is the list you just moved,
but if the withlist fix_url worked, that one should be OK.

See the post at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-October/063597.html>
for a way to find out which list has the problem config.pck.
