It turns out that the culprit is the function `epg--status-*SIG' which, when (epg-context-protocol context) is 'CMS and `epg-dn-from-string' triggers an error, does not perform the decoding of percent escapes.

I had a look to the code and it changed since this report.  IIRC, verifying my signature (with which I sign this message) used to display this problem.
