I had the same problem. I too changed the owner of the alias file and it all worked fine...
-rwxr--r-- 1 mail mail 591 Mar 25 11:11 /etc/postfix/aliases.mailman -rwxr--r-- 1 mail mail 12288 Mar 25 11:31 /etc/postfix/aliases.mailman.db (See the owner of this file is the GID of the one mailmail expected..) Works like a charm.. Postfix does issue a warning, but it is only a warning, not a fatal..
