It's odd that the commit isn't tied to a bug report, because I remember
twiddling with this stuff as a result of a report?

Anyway, I think it's correct to bug out here if we can't find a signer,
but the error message is, as you note, somewhat wrong.

I think.  As you note, it's odd that it's only doing this when signing
and not encrypting.
