I assume you have (| ) around those two rules; maybe (& ) is what
you're looking for.  Split to all matches, not just the first.  That
does mean that both copies will be split to both groups - that's not
a problem for me, as I use duplicate suppression, but you may have
different circumstances.

I feel a bit uncomfortable, too, if I do that, because you don't know
when the site will change mailer (or reconfigure their mailer) and
lose the vital bit.

But you could use it, with fallback to considering explicit recipients:

(|
  (|
     (received "for\\s-+list1@.*example\\.com" "example.list1")
     (received "for\\s-+list2@.*example\\.com" "example.list2"))
  (&
     (to "\\<list1@.*example\\.com" "example.list1")
     (to "\\<list2@.*example\\.com" "example.list2")))


Or even

(|
  (received "for\\s-+\\(list[12]\\)@.*\\<example\\.com" "example.\\1")
  (&
     (to "\\<list1@.*example\\.com" "example.list1")
     (to "\\<list2@.*example\\.com" "example.list2")))


I agree that lists should set the envelope from address, and also the
Sender header...
