So the initial GET of the page at
http://<my-web-site>/mailman/confirm/skipper/b36adbfa6d4b9af927197b75006444262696b9a6
works and it is only the subsequent "Subscribe to list ..." button that
fails.

If that is correct, POST data is getting lost. See the FAQ article at
<https://wiki.list.org/x/4030602> for some reasons why this happens
(most likely redirection from http to https, in which case do at least
steps 1-3 at <https://wiki.list.org/x/17892007>).
