Could you please positively verify this with someone who does have
access to the MTA logs?  I am pondering your mail to me, and don't yet
have any other good ideas.

Indeed.

Yep.  Corroborated by headers on a received posting.  See below.

What I have imagined is that somewhere in the bowels of mailman record
is kept of whether there has ever been a CAPTCHA-like verification of
a subscriber, and that delivery is suppressed if not.  But my study so
far of the source code reveals no such thing.

I'll be intensifying my investigation of this possibility as a result
of this mail from you, but I have to say I'm skeptical.

Yes.  See below.

Got both of them.  diff shows no surprises.

I don't think I violate anyone's confidences by sending you a complete
copy of the headers of a posting that I received from the one mailman
list from which I do receive postings:
