This is really a bug. The problem is whenever you submit any changes to the list's General Options page, new_member_options is reset to only those options that are checked on that page. Options other than the four that are shown on the page are reset. Because of the same bug, attempts to set option bits other than 2, 4, 16 and 256 via config_list new_member_options= will not succeed. You can set these other bits by specifying, e.g. mlist.new_member_options = 360 instead of new_member_options = 360 in the input to config_list or using withlist, but even if you do, the first time you submit any changes to the General Options page, the bits other than the displayed four will be reset.
