OK. But then why does your email to listname-owner get properly
delivered to the owners, but Mailman's mail to listname-owner get
delivered to the list?

The configuration excerpt you posted below looks correct, but perhaps
there is prior router that only applies to mail from localhost that
uses an alias or something else and delivers to the list. Is 
mailman_router the FIRST defined router?

I now notice in your original post you said "I have configured the Exim
transport/router as directed to pipe all mail into mailman that hasn't
been caught by aliases instead." This suggests mailman_router is not
first and some other router which ignores the -owner suffix is routing
this mail.

mailman_router should be the first router.

Also, you might check your exim-main-log to see how these messages are
routed and delivered.
