I have had another failure which I suspect may be the same bug.
This time I saw this:

  + reprepro --outdir /home/ian/things/Dgit/2dgit/tests/tmp/downstream-gitless/ds-mirror --basedir /home/ian/things/Dgit/2dgit/tests/tmp/downstream-gitless/ds-mirror includedsc avon /home/ian/things/Dgit/2dgit/tests/tmp/downstream-gitless/mirror/pool/main/example_2.1.dsc
  gpgme gave error GPGME:54:  Unusable secret key
  ERROR: Could not finish exporting 'avon'!
