Description

Using Safari 7.0.2 on OSX 10.9.2 (Build 13C64) only encrypting messages on keybase.io Website works well.

Encrypting AND signing the messages gives an error at the recipient while decrypting:

"Error: Cannot verify username, no self-signed proofs given"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the encrypt-and-sign flow on the keybase.io website with Safari 7.0.2 on OSX 10.9.2, then decrypt the message as the recipient. Trace the reported “Cannot verify username, no self-signed proofs given” error; done means signed messages decrypt and verify successfully in this environment.
