I don't see these in normal PGP-signed messages, either, which is why there's obviously something unusual going on here.
I see from John's headers he is using "messenger-pro/2.61", edited by Zap/ZapEmail, so there is some "difference of opinion" between these two programs [and I would expect my message to appear to have the same problem(s) from John's point of view]
It does indeed. However, at least yours has far more content than PGP signature! The main problem with the messages that have been commented on is that they are short but have very long (far longer than normal) PGP sig blocks.
This is worse than browser compatability, and I'm afraid human nature is such that everyone will claim that their client is "absolutely correct" and haughtily sneer at any other e-mail client "that doesn't work right"
In this case, I'm sure that kmail is actually getting it right - the list can't add its footer within the "real" text, because that would break the PGP sig. It's obviously a MessPro failing that it's not understanding this message correctly. I'll be posting a bug report about this in the support forum. However, anyone using a MUA that doesn't use PGP at all will be seeing the same as those of us using agents that don't understand PGP-signed mailing-list posting, which is far too much PGP and too little content.
