And this is a regular 1.4.7, no patches or anything done beyond
download, ./configure, and make ?  And you tested it with the exact
key from the original email at
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-April/030733.html ?

I'm not sure where to go with this from here.  Clearly you and I are
doing something different.  I just downloaded a brand new copy of the
1.4.7 tarball from ftp.gnupg.org, and built it again on three
platforms and tested against the key from the original email.  It
still works.

Can someone else with a Mac try importing that key?
