I asked a very similar question a few months back, and got a very
comprehensive answer from Mark Sapiro.

In my case, it was that the people attempting to (un)subscribe were
sending their requests with a plain text *and* an HTML part.  The
combination of the two parts added up to far more than the allowed
number of lines for a message to be treated as administrivia, s was
passed on to the list processing software, which promptly strips the
HTML part, leaving just the one word message that arrived at the list.

Is it possible that the same thing is happening on your list?
