Just tried it:

| Please select what kind of key you want:
|    (1) DSA and ElGamal (default)
|    (2) DSA (sign only)
|    (4) ElGamal (sign and encrypt)
|    (5) RSA (sign only)
| Your selection? 5
| About to generate a new RSA keypair.
|               minimum keysize is  768 bits
|               default keysize is 1024 bits
|     highest suggested keysize is 2048 bits
| What keysize do you want? (1024) 768
| keysize too small; 1024 is smallest value allowed for RSA.
| What keysize do you want? (1024) 

This seems to be a defect.

| Note that this key cannot be used for encryption.  You may want to use
| the command "--edit-key" to generate a secondary key for this purpose.

Why no RSA sign and encrypt keys?
