I have a new installation of Mailman 2.1.12 running on Ubuntu with

It does update the /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases file.
This is expected behaviour.
This causes
Postfix to reject any email sent to the list. What have I done wrong in
configuring this server?
You haven't told Postfix about /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases. Do this
like so?
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,
hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
and you'll probably want
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,
hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
It looks like you've done much of the rest that you need to do, as the
alias file is in fact being updated.
In my personal experience, you may find yourself missing important steps
when installing Mailman from packages. It wasn't until I needed to
install from sources that I actually read the installation instructions
from cover to cover, and realised I'd missed a few crucial (or at least
advisable) steps. So you might want to read
