Details

Using gpgme 1.2 or higher causes mutt to crash when it encounters things that require the use of GPG, be it encryption, decryption, or signing.

This is documented on the mutt bugtracker here: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3300

I would think that the maintainers should just patch the sources with the patch provided at: http://dev.mutt.org/trac/attachment/ticket/3300/mutt-1.5.21-gpgme-init.patch
This task depends upon

That patch looks reasonable but I can't reproduce the crash in the first place: opening signed/encrypted emails works fine for me with an up-to-date Arch system. Could you tell me more about the circumstances in which the crash happens, and whether it actually goes away if you recompile Mutt with this patch?

Never mind. You can close this as resolved. I neglected to source the /etc/Muttrc.gpg.dist file in my .muttrc. Sorry about that.
