I'll have to double check, but I used multiple signature support about 6 months
ago with the YP 2.0 (still current oe version) version of RPM.

Are you using the correct rpm signing tool?  If you sign using RPM4's tool, then
you can get the behavior you are talking about.

(The easiest way to verify the signing is 'multiple' was via a debug flag, I
don't remember if rpm -K -vvvv <package> was the right approach of if it was a
more specific one, but the debugging clearly showed it loading multiple signatures.)
