Awesome.  Comments inline below.

What is the result of this failing test?

I think g_mime_multipart_encrypted_decrypt allocates the
GMimeDecryptResult for you, so this will just leak memory.

My understanding is that g_mime_decrypt_result_get_signatures returns
NULL if there are no signatures and that this isn't an error.  This
differs from 2.4, which would return an empty but non-NULL list.

Also, I believe you have to free the sig_list in both branches now,
which means the talloc_set_destructor can be moved to common logic
outside of the if decrypted/signed.

It's confusing to have the open braces in the #ifdef'd region with a
matching close brace outside of it (and I imagine this confuses
editors and uncrustify, too).  You could either copy the else part in
both branches of the #ifdef or avoid duplicated code with something
like

#ifdef GMIME_26
  .. node->decrypted_child = ..
#else
  .. node->decrypted_child = ..
#endif
  if (node->decrypted_child) {
    node->decrypt_success = node->verify_attempted = TRUE;
#ifdef GMIME_26
    node->sig_list = ..
#else
    node->sig_validity = ..
#endif
  } else {
    fprintf (stderr, ..);
  }

Hmm.  This is correct for signed parts, but will incorrectly trigger
for an encrypted part with no signatures.  For 2.6, I think this error
checking may have to move into the branches of the if encrypted/signed
since for encrypted parts you have to check if
g_mime_multipart_encrypted_decrypt returned NULL.

Since this behaves very differently in 2.6, I think documenting it is
important (and being very careful about the differences).  Maybe

(Presumably this is copied from the existing
format_part_sigstatus_json, but since it's technically new code
there's no reason not to fix these up.)

Is it intentional that the two above checks are different?  I would
think the second should be expires != -1.

Break after brace.

This should be %d (I would say 0x%x, but JSON doesn't support hex
literals).  I see this bug came from the original
format_part_sigstatus_json.  Maybe there should be a quick patch
before this one that fixes the source of the bug?
