This is very interesting. For our antispam system I'd like to be able
to distinguish between mailing list traffic and person to person
traffic, since they largely have very different characteristics.  In
this sense, to me, 'do the right thing' would be to re-sign the
message -- we've been able to use Yahoo! Groups (re)signing as a
feature.  I'm sure that others could easily argue that doing the right
thing is to leave the message in a way that encourage the final
receiving system to check the initial signature, so they could apply
rules based on the original author.
