Could be. But, these are not Mailman questions, and while I do know
something about Postfix and a bit about fetchmail and can try to help
with that, These questions might better be answered elsewhere.

OK. Here Postfix has received the connect from fetchmail and rejected
the mail for <about-dummy at localhost> because "User unknown in local
recipient table".

And here fetchmail reports the reject.

You say if you have entries for about-dummy at ... in postfix/virtual, it
works. Do these look like

about-dummy at localhost  about-dummy


If so, it appears that without this, Postfix is not treating
about-dummy at localhost as the local address about-dummy, even though it
says it's looking for a local recipient.

You could try telling fetchmail

user "about-dummy at company.com"   there with password "secret" is
"about-dummy at company.com" here ;

Then you could put

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['company.com']

in mm_cfg.py to make Mailman-Postfix integration create virtual-mailman
with entries like

about-dummy at company.com   about-dummy

Then you also add hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman to
virtual_alias_maps and company.com to virtual_alias_domains in main.cf.

Either that, or perhaps you can make fetchmail deliver to just
about-dummy instead of about-dummy at localhost.

I don't really understand why it isn't working as it is if Postfix is
actually seeing the Mailman aliases. 

You could try putting a

about-dummy:   "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post about-dummy"

alias in /etc/aliases and running "newaliases" and see if that works.
It probably won't "work", but it may deliver to Mailman and return a
group mismatch error. If so, then postfix is not seeing the Mailman
aliases in usr/local/mailman/data/aliases(.db) for some reason.
