[Mailman-Developers] VERP'd reply-to not being used by bounce detector

I'm using Mailman 2.1b+, from a CVS build earlier today.

I sent a batch of messages out, and got a dozen bounces. Each one was
forwarded to me as "uncaught", but the reply-to had the verp'd address in
it.

An example bounce to: address is
reannounce-bounces+jron=rcn.net@lists.firstparish.org

Is the bounce detector simply not coded to handle these yet?

This also indicates that Welcome messages should have the VERP extension,
but don't (see my earlier message).
