'list_pending' lists requests waiting user confirmation. These are in
the various pending.pck files. 'erase' does not remove them unless you
specify the -p/--pending option. Without that option, 'erase' only
removes list members and moderator requests for the address(es).

Further, even with -p, 'erase' only removes pending subscription
confirmations (type 'S') from pending.pck.

If that doesn't explain what is happening, what does 'list_pending' show
that isn't removed? Also, if 'list_pending' shows subscription
confirmations that aren't removed, what does

ls -la var/lib/mailman/lists/<listname>

show?
