I just tested on a more up-to-date machine with the 2.5.6 version (not
the one I'm writing this message with), the "bug" is still happening. I
used double-quotes because it is less a bug and more like a change of
behaviour. 
I guess the passage from sylpheed-claws 1.x to 2.5.x would only surprise
Sarge users when doing the upgrade, and still, only if they use envt
variables and shell-interpretable characters in the command producing the
signature.

So, in summary, the bug is still there, and a workaround is for instance
calling a shell with the command. For instance, if the command was (I just
tested) :
cat $HOME/.signature && cat ~/.signature2 && echo $USER
it becomes :
bash -c "cat $HOME/.signature && cat ~/.signature2 && echo $USER"
if you use bash. The problem with this workaround can be that the shell
launched from sylpheed-claws might not have all the variables
sylpheed-claws sees, and it might not even be the default shell of the user.
