He may be using Microsoft Outlook as an email client.

I just went through all sorts of contortions trying to unsubscribe from the
list under one email address and re-subscribe using another.

Outlook does _not_ like To: addresses of the form expected by the full
Unsubscribe function.  Things like
"foobaz-unsubscribe-eagerstudent=uni DOT edu AT sources DOT redhat DOT com" get chopped at
the = sign, leaving "foobaz-unsubscribe-eagerstudent=" as the address.  I
forget exactly what the problem was with the simple unsubscribe function,
but I had issues with it, too.  (And to add to the confusion, both email
addresses are still valid: one is for my DSL line, and the other is for my
cable modem account.  So I had fun insuring that the messages and
confirmations were sent from the correct account, as both are known to
Outlook and checked during a mail run.)

Switching to a different email client wasn't a convenient option for me, and
I doubt I'm the only one in that position.

The issue may not be cluelessness on the part of the user.  If it is
possible to add a web form accessable to a browser to accomplish the same
end, that might help a great deal.
