This is a message from the upstream Mailman maintainer.

The fix for this bug at
<http://patch-tracking.debian.net/patch/series/view/mailman/1:2.1.11-11/67_update_handle_old_versions.patch>
is incomplete. It recognizes when it is looking at a tuple vs. a
UserDesc instance for purposes of extracting the address, but in the
case of a tuple, it pends a new request containing the tuple rather than
a UserDesc instance. This merely postpones the problem until the request
is confirmed.

The correct fix is to change Pending._update() to return a UserDesc
instance. This fix will be in Mailman 2.2.
