I use mutt, which defaults to using "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi" (and
sendmail is a symlink to exim),  so I am using batch submission rather
than SMTP.  That explains why I do not see your problem.

Confirmed:  I tried  this and  reproduced the  problem exactly  as you
describe it.

I  still do  not understand  why this  reports a  syntax error.   What
happens when you run "/usr/sbin/exim  -bV"?  Does it report any syntax
errors in the configuration file?  I wonder if the configuration is OK
but something else is  feeding the "control=dkim_disable_verify" lines
into a context where they are not syntactically valid.

I hope you  get a response!  It  would be a shame  if nothing happened
after you went to the trouble of bisecting the bug.
