In theory they could survive, if the construction of the multipart/digest from 
the MLM preserved all of the signed data from the original submission.  Then 
each contained message/rfc822 part could be DKIM-evaluated on its own.  And the 
MLM could sign the overall message.

I've never heard of that stated as a desired thing, though.
