Multi-file encrypted backup fails when signing key is DSA

When creating an encrypted programmatic backup (using SystemRepository >> secureFullBackupTo:MBytes:compressKind:bufSize:encryptKind:publicKeyCerts:signatureHashKind:signingKey:signingKeyPassphrase:, or similar methods), if the backup writes to multiple files rather than a single file, and if the signing key is DSA rather than RSA, the backup will fail, or crash, depending on the version.

Workaround

Backups written to a single destination file, or using an RSA signing key, do not have this issue.
