In rfc4880:

section 4.2.2.2.  Two-Octet Lengths

   A two-octet Body Length header encodes a length of 192 to 8383
   octets.  It is recognized because its first octet is in the range 192
   to 223.  The body length is equal to:

       bodyLen = ((1st_octet - 192) << 8) + (2nd_octet) + 192

Code in grub-core/commands/pgp.c doesn't add 192:
  92       if (l < 224)
  93         {
  94           *len = (l - 192) << GRUB_CHAR_BIT;
  95           if (grub_file_read (sig, &l, sizeof (l)) != 1)
  96             return grub_error (GRUB_ERR_BAD_SIGNATURE, N_("bad signature"));
  97           *len |= l;
  98           return 0;
  99         }

A minor patch could fix it:

diff --git a/grub-core/commands/pgp.c b/grub-core/commands/pgp.c
