I have put together some sample keys and signatures to help test
DSA2

Note that the current released version of GnuPG (1.4.3) can
verify,
but will not generate a DSA2 signature or key.
tested them in gnupg (1.4.3 mingw32 on win2k pro)
got a few error messages:
all involving the '224' type
was this meant to be tested in 1.4.3 ?
here is the ouptut summary of gpg --version

a hash of 224 is not listed
so,
not unexpectely,
upon importing the key,
since gnupg didn't recognize the 224 hash,
it also didn't recognize the self-sig
here are the gnupg error messages (using verbose verbose setting):
