Right, I was able to valgrind the bug.  We will have a solution soon.

Better don't use the keyids.  In particular with v5 keys they are
confusing because for v5 the keyid are the leftmost bytes instead of the
rightmost with v3 and v4 keys.

You may want to remove the "keyid-format" from gpg.conf and instead add
with-subkey-fingerprint.

Note that we also have a problem that, depending on how the key is
created, a v4 instead of a v5 key is created with cv448.  There is a fix
in 2.3.1 to make sure 448 only uses v5 but that fix was not enough.
