No, and it would be a bad idea, anyway.  I often get two copies of a
message, one sent directly to me, one relayed through a mailing list
that changed it enough to break the signature.  By any normal
standard, they're the same message, and it's useful to be able to tell
that from the common Message-ID.

Breaking long-established mail semantics to punish people who don't
run mail the way you like is not a good idea.  And in any event, if
people were sufficiently aware of DKIM to do what you suggest, they're
aware enough to add a new signature which is the right thing to do.
