That indicates that the redirect is going to a different server or at
least to a different virtual host with a with a different TransferLog.

That's strange.

Whatever is happening, it is Apache, not the browser that is doing it.
The

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/

should tell Apache that a GET of any path that begins with /mailman/x
should execute the corresponding /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/x CGI and
return the output of that CGI to the browser.

In your case, it is serving the content of
/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo (or some listinfo) instead of the
output from executing it. No matter what content-type header it sends,
the wrong thing will result.
