That's quite a normal situation. Mailing lists tend to break DKIM signatures. However, it's recommended practice for a mailing list to add its own signature, and not remove the signature that it has just broken (e.g., by adding a footer to the message, or by adding a prefix to the Subject line).
The broken signature is not removed because it carries potentially useful information, even though that information cannot be relied upon.
