In case anyone else has this problem, in gmail Settings > Accounts and
Import > Send Mail As, click Edit Info.  In there is the option to
provide what it says is a "different reply-to address".  Somehow I had
enabled that feature, but put my normal gmail address in there (so not
a "different" reply-to, just my normal one).  How that happened I have
no idea.  It appears that caused my mail to be sent with reply-to set
and I think mailman was interpreting the fact that I had supplied a
reply-to to indicate that this should be passed on to list members
along with the list address.  The solution was to clear the field for
reply-to.

Many thanks to all for helping sort this out and apologies to Chris
for falsely suggesting it was something to do with him.
