I'm quite sure I never had data signature capability on my primary key. And I
moved it to an OpenPGP v2 card, so it worked for me. I did use a 2048-bit key,
but I don't see why that should make a difference.

You could try to temporarily add data signature capability to your primary
key, and see if it accepts it then. Then remove it afterwards. But I can't
come up with something better right now, sorry.

Good luck,

Peter.
