That is the way it seemed. However, after digging into the archives a
bit deeper, and playing with a patch I found, I've come up with a
solution that works for me (it does require patching, though). Details
follow.
Inspiration came from:
<http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=99616338121641&w=2>
The patch exports the current mailbox name to an environment variable,
then I source a shell script as part of a folder hook. The shell script
parses the mailbox name to determine whether it is a list mailbox, then,
if it is, outputs the muttrc commands I use for lists. I've tested this
with all the lists I subscribe to, and it works with one caveat:
All my lists are stored in the format =lists.list-name, so
mutt-users is in =lists.mutt-users. While this makes it easy for my
script to parse the name, it also means that my script/setup may not
work for you.
Hope this helps... I know it doesn't do everything, but it gets me a
little closer. ;]

Would you mind sharing your sniplet? It may be a bit better than mine.

This is a patch to place the current mailbox path in an environment variable
whenever a folder-hook is called. This (trivial) patch was based on a
message[1] on the mutt mailing list:
[1]: http://marc.info/?l=mutt-users&m=99616338121641&w=2
In fact, the ONLY differences are the name of the variable, and adding the
patch name to PATCHES. ;]
