Integrity Protected Data Packet

Hello all,
Currently I use gnupg 1.0.6 under linux. The new style of packet headers is 
used for Symmetrically Encrypted Integrity Protected Data Packet (Tag 18). 
I've faced a situation when the packet's length is 233 bytes which is more 
than 192 so two bytes shall be used for length representation according to 
the RFC, but I get only one byte that contains the length. According to the 
RFC it means that three bytes were used for length (233>223). So some 
receiving programs cannot interpret the packet well.
Could someone comment please: is it a bug or a feature of gpg and is it 
applied for all new style headers or just the packet in question.
Best regards and many thanks for your help.
