At about the same time it last happened to you, it also happened to me.
I started pursuing it, and the upshot was that I got subscribed to the
LSTSRV-L list.  There was a lively discussion on this, including with
the author of LISTSERV, Eric Thomas.
 
I assure you, this isn't on account of any incompetence on Una's part.
 
As I understand it, there are two gateways involved.  One that is gateing
news into mail, and the second is gating the mail into a LISTSERV list.
It is the second gateway which is doing the duplicate checks.  The problem
is that there is no way for the second gateway to tell that the item
originated on news.
 
Eric was indeed interested in coming up with a solution of some sort.
About the only possible solution seems to be if any two of Newsgroups:,
Path:, Expires:, Supersedes: is there, the bounce will be suppressed.
 
I do not know whether there is any work going on in this area yet.
