I understand that, but the data/heldmsg* file could have been removed
external to Mailman before that.

The attached admindb.patch.txt file contains a patch that will log more

Try applying the patch and then the next time the problem occurs, post
the log - note the log may contain passwords; be careful to remove
them before posting.
