Now, it looks to me like Mailman is trying to set permissions on the newly

was done for linux which overloads the setuid bit for as 'set group' on new
files.
Something like that. This is bug #688751, and again I can confirm that it occurs on NetBSD, so with every new release I've just commented out three lines in Scrubber.py to avoid shunting messages with attachments. I otherwise have no idea where to go with this. The function in question works when run in a small test program as a non-superuser...
Hmm. As best I can tell, this bug was fixed in 2.1.4 by the fix for bug #777444 ("mailmanctl doesn't setgroups when run as root"). With what version of Mailman did you encounter the problem?
