First of all, the *_these_nonmember checks are not case sensitive.

Then, I don't see a way that Mailman could notify the poster and admin
that a post is held and then deliver the same post to the same list
without further action.

What is in Mailman's vette log from this time frame?
If there is a post held message, what is the message-id in that log
message and is it the same as that of the delivered post and is the
poster's email address in that message someone at somedomain (i.e.
identical except for case to the accept_these_nonmembers address)?

For that matter is the list name what you expect?
