The problem with the modification is my fault. I said to add

           listinfo_url = self.getScriptUrl('listinfo', absolute=1)

but this is wrong. It needs to be

           listinfo_url = self.GetScriptURL('listinfo', absolute=1)

However, this has nothing to do with the mail sent to the owner of a
new list. This particular modification was to add a definition of
'listinfo_url' to the substitutions in the verify.txt template for the
confirmation message sent to someone subscribing when the policy
includes 'confirm'. The same modification is also required when the
verify.txt template is used for an address change confirmation.

Adding %(emailaddr)s to the newlist.txt template requires a different
modification to MailList.py.
