Are you sure, that you didn't edit the foo.asc file?

$ cat -e foo.asc
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----$
Hash: SHA1$

This is a test of gpg signing.$

I added the "Hash: SHA1" line and could verify the file.  I also
tested that this header line is created when you do a --clearsign.

The presense of the hash line is important, because a missing Hash
line indicates the PGP 2 compatibility
