I ran into this some months ago, so my memory is a little foggy.
However, I'm 90% sure I fixed it by removing one of the following
options from ~/.gpg/options :

  force-v3-sigs
  rfc1991
  digest-algo md5
  load-extension rsa
  load-extension idea

Sorry for being imprecise; I hope this puts you on the right track!
