I am moderator of a group.
Our group policy is to moderate the first posting of new members.

I had seen in my email to messages by the same new member.
i responded to the first one, to let it go through.
By responded, I guess you sent a blank reply email from your correct email address.

it was then normally distributed to the mailing list.

without any action on my side, the second message by same new member als appeared in the group messages in the web interface. It was however never emailed to the group members.

This is odd. It was in the message archive on your group site??
Check in the member's activity - Admin, Members.
Or in Admin, Activity to get some clues.
If it appeared on the site, normally that means that after the first email, the member was unmoderated. (This is your group setting, you say.) Or that another moderator approved it.
What is odd is that the message wasn't sent on to the other members.

i replied to it in the web interface, and that reply was also not distributed via email to group members.

"replied" means approved?

Have you checked to see the subscription preferences of the other members? Any turquoise (blue) FF's? That means they only get the first message in a thread. Or are they digest?

is this a bug? Or rather two bugs?

in my opinion, all messages should be distributed via email ( to the members who subscribe to email), even my own to me. That way I maintain an external group archive in a mail folder. My own messages should not go missing there.
Here are a couple of wiki pages on moderation.
