Well, we can only guess, and we could waste time with trying to reproduce
the problem.  But in either case, it is _not_ necessary to login to the
list page for the unsubscription button.

I see no immediate reason why unsubscribing should not work anymore.

No harm, but increased risk that the list owner(s) will be flooded with such
requests unnecessarily by lazy people who could unsubscribe themselves.
