Same here - I include the time and keyid, but they were required for
signatures.

Is this correct?
Yes. And I put a onepass signature packet in front with a keyid of
all 0 and a pubkey algo of 0; it is not required for decryption.
My 1pass is optional, but the same thing happens. It does start the
proper hash algorithm.
(I haven't done anything with the other method - a new MDC packet; too
many other projects at the moment).
