We need some more information.  Do the keys display fine when running gpg as
gpgme runs it, eg --with-colons --fixed-list-mode --with-fingerprint
--list-keys

If that works, it might be a parsing error in gpgme.  You could debug the
keylist_colon_handler function.  If that works, it might still be an
encoding issue.  I think some fields might be in UTF 8 and some escape mode
(and are not unescaped as they should).

You could also give us more info about the problem you see. Do the lists not
show up at all?  Or are they just corrupted?  It's not clear from your
description above what you are seeing.

Thanks,
Marcus
