Thank you for your information.  I wonder if you have reproducible
configuration which causes this error.

If so, I think that it's good to redirect this bug report to
duplicity.

Thank you for your kindness.

This bug in GnuPG is *not* ignored, but had been triaged, identified
with the reproducible script of mine.

The message "*** buffer overflow detected ***" is by hardened GNU C
library and it means that it successfully stops exploit of the buffer
overflow.  Ideally, it should be detected by the application program
(GnuPG in this case), though.
