The problem that I saw at first is that the same header line will almost 
certainly be in messages from the list-handler of all three lists.  However, 
having had time to think, the solution is almost certainly three separate 
procmail rules - each combining the X-List-Administrivia header with the List-
ID or some other list-specific header.

Yes, that's going to be the answer, I think.  Now all I have to do is get 
samples from all three lists - one I see every day, one fairly frequently and 
the third one, rarely.  I'll create rules for each as they come up.

Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.
