Fire 1.5.2rc1 Critical GPG Bug

I just tried Fire 1.5.2rc1 on Mac OS X 10.3.9 with a Jabber account, 
and unfortunately it still contains the awful GPG bug:  Fire claims to 
be using Encryption + Signing (Red Lock Icon) but is in fact sending 
messages in Plain Text.

In fact, none of the GPG combinations work (Signing, Sign + Encryption, 
Encryption only) -- all send messages as plaintext.

In my opinion this is a CRITICAL bug, as it misleads users in to a 
false sense of security -- not only does the encryption fail, but the 
user interface shows that encryption is being used!

FYI this bug seems to have been introduced in 1.5.   All my Jabber and 
GPG-using friends have reproduced it.

Thanks!
