Sam's signatures have been reported to break Enigmail since 2003.  In
particular:

  In theory it would be possible to switch to gpgme (and I somehow
  have this in the back of my head for a long time), but it means to
  rewrite all of the current backend, so it's quite a task.

The bug is still open, so I guess he hasn't switched to gpgme yet.

Enigmail conflated clearsigned messages and detached signatures (see
http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-April/030916.html ).
I don't know whether Evolution's bug is similar.
