I suggest you contact upstream about it, either via bugs.kde.org or first
kdepim / kdepim-users mailing list (see http://kde.org/support/mailinglists/)

Thanks, I just did that as advised.

I would appreciate, though, if I could get a confirmation or refutation of
said bug to find out whether this is my setup or indeed a more general bug.

Well I have KMail from KDE SC 4.10.2 here and it respect my OpenPGP settings,
but then I just have one GPG key set and it matches my mail address.

>From the bug report I bet you are using Wheezy packages. You have 4.7.4 in
there, I bet you upgraded to KDE SC 4.8.4? KDEPIM is at 4.4.11 in Wheezy.

Upstream it could happen that you get asked whether its reproducable with a
newer version of KDEPIM, as 4.4.11 is rather old. But in KDEPIM since 4.6 also
KMail has moved to Akonadi for mail access (KMail 2) and it involves migrating
data or recreating the configuration from scratch and can have various issues.
I reported some here, some at kdepim / kdepim-users and most in bugs.kde.org.
Currently I workaround most of these issues with a special setup.

Yep, it always does that it seems, the trouble starts if you try anything
else. But as far as I can tell this is not actually about OpenPGP but an
Akonadi issue.

By KMail from KDE SC 4.10.2 you mean upstream? I am running KMail 1.13.7 from
Debian/Unstable (4:4.4.11.1+l10n-3+b1)

I know, that's why I reported it here first: KMail 1.3.7 is unsupported by
upstream as far as I understand it. But Kmail2 is not available in Debian,
yet.
