The problem is that -v causes GnuPG to output more stuff. If that
output goes to stdout, then Enigmail cannot distinguish this from
"other" output. I assume that this is a little bug in GnuPG as I think
that verbose output should normally go to stderr.

I cannot see how this could be fixed in Enigmail in any way.
