I believe that this does not invalid the origin DKIM signature, so I see
the criterion as always modifying messages but not in a way that
invalids DKIM signatures.

That modification invalidates the DKIM signature.

Bingo! What should have been some kind of requirement is to define the method of signing the content of portions of a message with some BCP for mailing lists.

There is a BCP for mailing lists. The IETF document was not aligned with the Mailman common practices at the time the IETF document was written or now.

The stress, if I may call it that, today for DKIM is that the signing is not in sync with how mailing lists are run.

Yes.
