Actually, that was using Icedove. Using Mutt yeilds:

[-- PGP output follows (current time: Sun 13 Mar 2011 06:59:00 AM MDT) --]      
                                                                                
                                                                               
gpg: Signature made Thu 10 Mar 2011 11:36:36 AM MST using DSA key ID DFBEAD02   
                
gpg: BAD signature from "Derek D. Martin <d...@dragontoe.org>"                  
                 
[-- End of PGP output --]

After running 'gpg --list-packets' on his signature, here's what I get:

:signature packet: algo 17, keyid 1C49C048DFBEAD02
    version 3, created 1299603262, md5len 5, sigclass 0x01
    digest algo 2, begin of digest e3 50
    data: [159 bits]
    data: [159 bits]

He's using DSA with SHA1. Interesting that the output is 159 bits, and
not 160 bits.

Seahorse also complains about the signature, calling it bad. Interesting
too that Enigmail with Icedove validates the signature, but Mutt fails.

At any event, it does in fact appear that something is broken with his
OpenPGP signatures, likely due to a misconfiguration in his
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf or muttrc.
