I post a bug report for a similar problem a couple of days ago. I find 
out that gnupg clear signatures cannot be verified by pgp 5.0i while
"not clear" signatures work. I finally find out that the problem came
from tab chars.

The following file clearsigned with gpg cannot be verified by pgp
5.0i. If you substitute the final tab with a space then everything is
ok.

Here is a tab right there ->
