The automated message I got said this was the reason my message was held: The message comes from a moderated member.

TBH, I would rather not have this message be more clear. If the message makes it clear that a malicious mail will get through if the first one is benign, stochastic nastygrams would be more likely. Since we generally approve within a few hours, I doubt there are very many folks who are particularly concerned by the practice. Anybody who investigates Mailman enough to read Mark's reply in the archives probably knows enough to figure it out anyway, but the "please wait for approval" message goes directly to the author.
