That is right. --hidden-encrypt-to needs other recipients. But you may use 
‑‑throw-keyids or --hidden-recipient instead.

That's a bug in my MUA which is triggered by the email being encoded as ascii:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305171

This bug (or rather: problem) has been discovered here on the list – it occurs 
almost only in English emails. I have added a non-ASCII char to my text 
signature thus forcing a charset different from ascii. Thus the signature of 
this email should be OK.
