The recommended best practice for Mailman 2.1.x is to run a separate
Mailman instance per domain. The vhost branch may be the second choice
alternative.

What broke it is setting

OWNERS_CAN_DELETE_THEIR_OWN_LISTS = Yes

in mm_cfg.py. It's definitely a bug in the vhost branch. It's fixed (I
hope) in rev. 852 of the branch. See
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/vhost/revision/852> for
the fix.
