This is probably a bug in Mailcrypt as your previous QP example
verified for me.

Yes and no. If your message includes 8bit characters you shouldn't
really be using old-style inline PGP in the first place. However, if
you do, the message should be QP encoded.
The right thing for messages with non-ASCII characters is to use
PGP/MIME which works reliably in this case.

That is the wrong approach. As I suggested previously you should
rather upgrade to Gnus 5.10 (and use PGP/MIME). If you really *must*
use inline PGP in combination with 8bit, then this works in 5.10 as
well.
