OK, that's the issue. The message in the .mbox is after various list
manipulations, but before scrubbing for the pipermail archive, and
somehow the '; charset="us-ascii"' has been lost from the Content-Type:
header, which is why Scrubber scrubs it.

This is what should happen. I'm not sure which handler changed the
charset to utf-8, but I don't think that's significant.
Clearly there is something different in either the two lists, or the
message that arrived at the lists, but My only guess is the message that
arrived at the original list was already missing the charset="us-ascii".
Here's something you can try.
Create a file somewhere and give the Mailman's group write permission on
it. Then apply the following patch to Mailman's scripts/post

where LISTNAME is the problem list's name and PATH_TO_FILE is the path
to the file you created. This file will accumulate all the incoming
messages posted to the list, exactly as they are received by Mailman.
Then we can at least know for sure what that message looks like.
Of course, once you have captured one such message, you can revert the
patch.
