Yes, I do. Just tried.

Two possibilities come to my mind:

1) I created a signature using gpg only. Did you do that, too, or did you use 
some GUI or calling program (MUA)?

2) Are there conflicting statements in your config file? Maybe you can check 
by calling

gpg --options /dev/null --personal-digest-preferences SHA256 --detach-sign...

gpg --options /dev/null --personal-digest-preferences SHA256,RIPEMD160 ...
