I think you are not actually inspecting and understanding these debug
outputs yourself:

Here's the result for a singly escaped period:
853256 ╭considering: ${lookup {${local_part}.list}
dsearch,ret=key,filter=file {/opt/lsoft/listserv/home} {${sg
{$value}{.list}{}}}fail}
853256 ├──expanding: ${local_part}.list
853256 ╰─────result: johnnies-test-list-2.list
853256 ╰─────result: johnnies-test-2
while the
bracketed period gives the right result and panics the application.
The keys for the two lookups differ. And, not unexpectedly, the results differ.
It writes to the panic log because that is what your sg expansion asks
it to do when there is no match.
