Oversigning those headers is silly.

Let's say you send out a DKIM signed message without Sender and
List-Foo, and then an extremely malicious mailing list grabs your
message and adds those headers and forwards your message without
breaking the DKIM signature, which means the list didn't change the
subject or the message body.

What's the worst that could happen?  Someone is lead to believe that
you subscribe to a list that you don't?  Oh, nooooooooo.

As Bill C. explained, Exim is just wrong here.
