My corporate e-mail is owner if the list, both are subscribed to the list as moderated member, and both members have set “Receive acknowledgement mail when you send mail to the list?” to “Yes” at http://mailman.foo/roster/mylist.

The user option “Receive acknowledgement mail when you send mail to the
list?” does not work with anonymous lists because at the time we decide
to send the acknowledgement, all trace of who sent the mail has been
removed. That is why the second of the pair of entries in the post log
has the list address rather than your address.

If you set your list's General Options -> anonymous_list to No, the
poster should receive requested acknowledgements.

This could be considered a bug. If you report it at
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+filebug>, I'll fix it.
