Viewing the message source (using pan on the article as it appears on 
gmane, save text, then opening the file  in an editor), the first thing I 
noticed (as it's in the headers) is:

User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 (Windows/20090302)

Then below the headers, it's a multi-part message composed of two parts

Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;
 protocol="application/pgp-signature";

and

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: inline

The multipart/signed part then has nested within it, two parts, the body 
(the signed content) and the pgp-signature

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc"
Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc"

I'd thus guess that the new git version screws up pan's handling of 
compound messages, parts nested within parts.
