When I partially upgraded my system from Debian 2.1 to Debian 2.2, I
lost colour and suffered some other nastinesses until I adjusted my
~/.Xdefaults to get TERM=xterm-debian again. Perhaps you have some
similar sort of configuration confusion.
You could try running mutt on some different types of terminal (Linux
console, xterm, etc) to see if this helps diagnose a terminfo problem.
You could try intercepting gnupg with a script to catch its output and
check the output for any control characters.
Recently I've had some experience of messed up displays because I was
hacking newt and slang to understand UTF-8 and yesterday I was
implementing my own simple virtual terminal to run them on, but I
can't think how to diagnose your problem remotely ... Usually I just
attach gdb and look at SLcurses_Stdscr and SL_Screen ...
