But doesn't OpenPGP sign data before encrypting it? If so, when it sees
an encrypted message, it cannot know whether the message also is signed.

Setting $pgp_good_signature allows mutt to detect good signatures on
data. However, since pgp/gpg cannot determine signature validity on
unencrypted data, mutt warns you that the signature cannot be verified.
This is true, by specification.
