It does appear to hide your signature only part of the time, for example gmail hides your signature in your reply to my email. It doesn't seem to know what to do with your PGP signature so it just displays it in the body, after the hidden ASCII signature. In other emails you have posted it shows your ASCII signature but with a grey font instead of black (so it apparently knows something about the -- convention), but still doesn't know what to do with your PGP signature. And actually, if I'm not mistaken, the -- was originally used to tell majordomo mailing lists to ignore the rest of the email (to avoid processing commands).
