the '(fixing)' notation says 'yes', but this is very puzzling in a
couple of ways.

What Mailman version is this? In current versions at least,
bin/check_perms doesn't check archives/public/*. Also,
/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/birntest should be a symlink to
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/birntest, and its ownership and
permissions shouldn't matter as it's those of the target that count.

The bottom line is cane you access the public archives for this list
via a 'pipermail' URL. If so, you don't have a problem.
