If I remember correctly it goes something like this:
- The problem is caused by messages with attachments. A detached GPG/PGP
signature is just the most common type of attachment on this list.
Messages with inline signatures (old style) should not suffer from
this.
- The debian mailing list server appends the how-to-unsubscribe
information to the end of each messages as if the whole message were a
"flat" mail. This means that for a message with attachments the
appended part is "undefined" because it comes after the terminating
separator string and does not have a type definition.
- The general confusion is increased by the fact that some MUAs do show
the undefined part while others interpret the relevant RFC more
strictly and suppress it.
- The other lists that you mention might simply attach their text in an
RFC-compliant manner.
