Does it work if you remove the
(targetfilter="(ou=mailrouting-listserver) clause?

It does. I'm a bit wary of leaving it like that, but given that it's set on the branch, am I correct in assuming that it will only affect the branch beneath the point it is set?

Correct. In fact, what (targetfilter="(ou=mailrouting-listserver)")
means is "only entries which contain an ou attribute with the value of
mailrouting-listserver". Note that just because the DN contains
"...,ou=mailrouting-listserver,..." does not mean all target entries
contain "ou: mailrouting-listserver"
