Interesting.  Those files were generated with PGP (you can tell from
the ":marker packet: 50 47 50").  How were they transferred to you?
If it was FTP, can you ensure that it wasn't ASCII mode?

Try having the user send you an ASCII armored file.  Also try having
the user zip the file before sending it, which can help establish
where the corruption is happening.

Out of curiosity, try decrypting each with the --show-session-key
flag.  Don't post the output - just tell me if the key is the same for
all three.
