Indeed.

I'm looking at this code, and there seems to be a bunch of error
reporting in place.  For instance:

(defun mm-possibly-verify-or-decrypt (parts ctl &optional from)
  (let ((type (car ctl))
        (subtype (cadr (split-string (car ctl) "/")))
        (mm-security-handle ctl) ;; (car CTL) is the type.

[...]

          (if func
              (setq parts (funcall func parts ctl))
            (mm-set-handle-multipart-parameter
             mm-security-handle 'gnus-details
             (format "Unknown sign protocol (%s)" protocol))))))

[...]

    parts))

And mm-security-handle indeed has a file-related error message after
this.  But it's just discarded?  I mean, it's bound locally and then not
returned, so I think there's a thinko here somewhere...
