Comment (by kevin8t8):
I'm looking a bit more into this, and it appears to be deliberate: the
decryption/verification routines for inline PGP also hard code the
resulting type to format=fixed.
After some more research, I believe this is because there are strange
interactions between format=flowed and inline PGP, which the RFC notes:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3676#section-4.6
and ends noting the combined use is strongly discouraged.
I think Mutt should warn about this, so you know the result won't be
flowed, but I believe preserving the format=flowed would open up a can of
worms.
