Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported flow with keybase pgp sign -c, keybase pgp verify, and keybase pgp decrypt using the issue's example. Compare the verification messages from verify and decrypt; done means decrypting the clearsigned message no longer reports key 0, an unknown key, or the 1754 date.
