Hopefully you can help me figure that out... :)

Confirmed, /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman contains blocks like:

# STANZA START: listname
# CREATED: Wed Jan 11 18:32:22 2006
listname at myhost.example.com                    listname

Of course, they are complete with all required aliases for each list.

As far as I know and understand postfix, I'm using postfix's virtual
delivery agent currently, although I'll be switching this to dovecot-LDA
later. Getting the mailman hostname changed is one thing in a long list
- most of which are done now - of things I had to get done before
switching to dovecot.

I do have one, but it is nothing really - it just has the one entry for
the vacation responder for postfixadmin, and a commented example entry
for bypassing our primary relayhost for any problematic domains. I had
to use it once a long time ago for a few domains that were having
problems accepting data from our primary relayhost (outsourced anti-spam
service), but they fixed that long ago and I haven't used it since.

See below...

Mark, I honestly don't know enough about this stuff to answer that with
any certainty...

Hmmm... could it somehow be from my alias_maps?

/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases contains blocks like the following for
each list:

# STANZA START: listname
# CREATED: Wed Jan 11 18:32:22 2006
listname:             "|/usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman post listname"

Again, of course, each has all of the required aliases.
