I'm using the 'client' version of Mac OSX, not the 'server' version.  
I'm not using the Apple-provided version of Mailman.  I use Macports, 
which downloads the source directly from Sourceforge/lists.org.

Much of that is ancient history or relates primarily to the OSXserver 
version.

Fortunately, I figured out what the problem was.  Though I had installed 
with  --with-mail-gid=staff, I hadn't also run a check_perms -f.  That 
was apparently the missing puzzle piece.
