Yep, known bug. I posted a patch for this a few days ago.
Alternatively, you can grab the whole file from:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mailman/mailman/bin/sync_members?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
Drop this in your source directory, run config.status, and re-install.

You're welcome!

You know that you don't really /need/ the passwords much for
subscribes and unsubscribes. Mailman will use mailback confirmations
for these actions if no password is given. If users never want to
modify their options, they don't need to know their password.
I'm not sure what "list-owner confirmation" means. Do you mean the
"Approve" option under the Privacy category for subscribe_policy?
JAE> Question: How to I get searchable archives? Like

JAE> for my own mailing-list archives?
You can try the htdig patches on SourceForge. This is not officially
supported right now.
JAE> How come this doesn't come as a part of Mailman?
I'd prefer a Pythonic solution integrated with Pipermail. Lacking
that, eventually some kind of third party hook for external indexers
will likely become official. I don't have any plans to distribute or
bundle something like htdig.
