The supposedly lost message was just 140 bytes longer than the second
(size should have increased by 1k at least)

You're right, and I'm an idiot: comparing the sequence of archived
messages with the log of incoming SMTP connections from that list made
it obvious that the line I quoted was related to the next message from
the list --which I had received and read, but not paired with its log
entry.

Anyway, thank you so much, Sam and Gordon, for helping me out of that
grief.  Thus, it was a remote Mailman's hiccup (I have no entry for
that network on that day's "Errs/net" log page.)  I'm happy to file
away as urban legend this hypothesis of a message lost upon reception
(and I'll try and be more precise with log lookups).
