Bug Description

1) start kgpg
2) start editor (file->open editor)
3) type something in text field
4) click on 'encrypt'
5) options
6) uncheck allow encryption with untrusted keys
7) recheck allow encryption with untrusted keys
8) select 14+ keys including at least two of your own, which you have the password for one of them.
9) click ok to encrypt
10) now copy this message somewhere and go back to a clean editor.
11) paste the cyphertext into new editor window
12) click on 'decyrpt'

result:
"Decryption failed" Details:
[GNUPG:] NODATA 3

AND AND AND

intermixed in the cyphertext, somewhere in the middle of the cyphertext amidst the base64 or whatever data: is
[GNUPG:] BEGIN_ENCRYPTION 2 7
[GNUPG:] BEGIN_ENCRYPTION 2 7

somehow this got its way *INTO* the cyphertext when it's just output from gnupg that is *not* cyphertext

The more keys you add the more likely this message seems to finds its way into the cyphertext.
