If the out runner is running, is there a file named *.bak along with all the *.pck files in queue/out/
there is one, yes:

what does it indicate and what should my steps be to resolve this (other than restarting queues)?
This says that the out runner has picked up that entry and is processing it, but, of course, it is now hung somehow in that process.
Examining that entry with 'mailman qfile' may possibly provide a clue, but I suspect not as when you restart the out runner process it will reprocess that entry (which is the whole purpose of saving it as .bak during processing), and this time it seems to go OK.
You might try running strace or similar on the procees to try to see what it is waiting on.
