After several re-installs and some test, I've discovered why the maillist.php script wasn't working for me, it was just a case of misunderstanding of regexps. I'm not a programmer, so I'm not sure to be right; anyway here is what I've found:

The shown warning refers to clean_up_data() function in the script ("range out of order" warning). This function replaces input subject with a given replacement when matching a regexp, using the php preg_replace() function.
The fact is that in my import rule the regexp was [Retroaccion-JD] (as with the given [PHP] example in Subject Mangling section in Mailing list Manager). But it seems to me that the [Retroaccion-JD] regexp matches everything, so the subject was always replaced with the replacement (NULL string in my case). That could be the reason for the script trying to insert a message with NULL subject regardless of the message being imported.
Just reading a bit about regexp I substituted [Retroaccion-JD] with \[Retroaccion-JD\] and everything was ok.

This shows also that for the maillist.php scritp to work, the subject of the message being imported has not to be NULL (also after applying the Subject Mangling function), as I've tested afterwards, because no 'NULL-subjected' message can be imported into the forum at all. So the users of the mailing list has to be adviced not to send messages with blank Subject, or at least be sure that the Subject Mangling function leaves always at least a short string in the subject line.

Btw, I'm running the script with Files locked, not as advertised in Mailing List Manager page, and it is working. Why is necessary to unlock the forum files to execute maillist.php?

Thank you very much
