First, this is probably OT for mailman-users. I suggest you take any
follow ups to mailman-developers.

You have probably broken the MIME structure in some way. It is not
clear to me exactly how, but you are manipulating MIME parts outside
of the standard methods for doing so, so it's not surprising. Why not
just to something like:

    for part in msg.walk():
        if part.get_content_maintype() == 'text':
            del part['content-transfer-encoding']
            part.set_payload(DoReplacements(
                                part.get_payload(decode=True)))
