An excellent point -- there needs to be clarification there. I've added
text that says, "...it MUST be computed from the finished (encrypted,
signed, etc.) message in a deterministic fashion..."

How's that?

I had not thought of leaking key data this way. If the group feels this is
a real concern couldn't the same type of "leaking" be done with the
"boundary" in the MIME headers?
