Daniel,
Those are the exact steps I'm using.

When I run tag -v on existing tags, I don't see the

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin)

iD8DBQBMqlpo8Y2TgZsQ1pARAmBQAJ9NV0IX7jlzeB8ogddlutFKAjyWJwCfSI5A
yZeXw/EddYrfdad/VvOrL1o=
=/0PJ
-----END PGP MESSAGE——

block. It's only present on tags created using the current version.
I've also just upgraded to GnuPG 1.4.10, but the result is the same.
I'm not sure how else I can determine where the problem arises; I'm
using the git and GnuPG versions for OS X built by homebrew, and GnuPG
is happy to use the same key for en/decryption and signing. I've also
verified that none of the subkeys are expired, and that the trust db
is OK.
