As far as I know, this has never happened before.

It happened because YahooGroups apparently decided that all messages
with "Precedence: bulk"[1] should just be dropped entirely.  At a
guess, this was a brain-dead attempt at spam prevention (because of
course, all spam labels itself as such!).

They did this without warning, as far as I'm aware.

[1]: Possibly all messages with Precedence set at all; I didn't test
that possibility, because I don't care enough.
