Good question.  I implemented the

to help Enigmail but they are also parsed by gpgme in a way that make
gpgme fail.  So yes, this is clearly a regression.  The question is
whetrhe to fix it: 

 a) In GPGME
 b) In GnuPG
    - either send FAILURE status lines only in severe situations
      (e.g. bad option argument)
    - or figure out why the NO_PUBKEY also used log_error which causes
      an exit code != 0 and thus the FAILURE status line.

I need to think about - I considere this a severe problem.
 

Salam-Shalom,
