Finally I got it working!
As for your offer to edit the wiki, thanks, but I don't have time to
test all the different possible setups. I can only offer information for
one, which would be as follows:
"If you want an umbrella list to post anonymous announcements to several
sublists at once, always getting the appropriate footer from each list,
and not allowing sublist members to post, follow this procedure:
1. Create the umbrella list and set it up as anonymous (General Options
> anonymous_list) and as umbrella (General Options > umbrella_list).
2. Add the sublists' posting addresses as members of the umbrella list.
3. Either add the addresses of people allowed to post to the umbrella as
umbrella members, or authorize them to post as nonmembers (Privacy >
Sender filters > accept_these_nonmembers).
4. In every sublist, put the umbrella's posting address as accepted
non-member (Privacy > Sender filters > accept_these_nonmembers).
5. In every sublist, put the umbrella's posting address as acceptable
alias (Privacy > Recipient filters > acceptable_aliases). This last step
is necessary only if require_explicit_destination is set to 'Yes'.
If you don't get the expected results, check the /var/log/mailman/vette
log and the value of the USE_ENVELOPE_SENDER directive in mm_cfg.py or
Defaults.py."
And then you could add footnotes and alternative fixes to debug the
procedure. However, you'd need to add two more howtos on setting up
non-anonymous umbrellas and cross-posting umbrellas, which I didn't try.
In any way, that messy wiki must be fixed. Features won't be used unless
they're well documented.

Thank you for your opinion. It is after all a wiki and if you look at
<https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20set%20up%20an%20umbrella%20list%3F?action=info>
you'll see that the language actually predates any of my edits and
despite what I said earlier, I didn't write the parts that offend you.
Anyway, If you are willing to create an account on the wiki, I'll be
happy to give you write permission and you can update the page as you
see fit.
Look in Mailman's vette log and see if that gives a reason. If not, do
the cautious thing one does when experimenting and change all the list
settings that are currently "Discard" to "Hold" and see why the messages
are held.
I suspect your issue is that the sublist(s) are discarding the message
from the umbrella because Privacy options... -> Sender filters ->
generic_nonmember_action is Discard and the post is not from a list
member. This is the second issue.
On the other hand, you're too scarce on really
necessary information: what's the "@Listname syntax" that might fix the
second problem?
It is a way to reference all the members of a different list in a list's
*_these_nonmembers (accept_these_nonmembers in this case. Follow the
(Details for accept_these_nonmembers) link in the admin Privacy
options... -> Sender filters UI.
