Please reply to the list, not me personally, so that others can 
contribute.  I've redirected my reply back to the list.

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what the problem is.  Perhaps try 
the classic gpg interface instead (turn off $crypt_use_gpgme and source 
the sample gpg.rc that comes with mutt).

Alternatively, check the output of
gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --with-colons --with-fingerprint --with-fingerprint --list-keys <keyid>

I don't think gpg --list-keys would include disabled keys, but perhaps 
one of the flags in that output will make things clearer.
