What are the mitigations?


They're secret. And obvious.

In addition, it is a matter of interpretation as to whether a mailing-list should remove signatures prior signing. It is not that far fetched to predict dependence upon permissive signature settings and mailing lists not removing prior signatures is likely a recipe for future policy compliance problems and represents valid concerns when deciding upon policy assertions.
What part of RFC4871 section 4.1 paragraph 3:

 Signers SHOULD NOT remove any DKIM-Signature header fields from
 messages they are signing, even if they know that the signatures
 cannot be verified.

is not clear? Your fanciful leaps of what-if's fly in the face of my field
tested 99.6% pass rate, not to mention that you are simply wrong about
what rfc4871 says.
