Apologies for following up here, but there are questions below that I
don't know how to answer:

I have no way to debug this problem clearly. Obviously the problem is in
call-process producing output in a buffer and that being parsed in two
different ways: outside Gnus, it is parsed in a way that does not ignore
^M characters; inside Gnus it sometimes happens and sometimes does not.

No. That is what I was asking in my earlier email. I do not know how to
trace where this happens. The most I have managed is to set an "advice"
function that interferes CALL-PROCESS and output properties of the
buffer that is current when it is invoked, but I have no idea how to
find which part of the code selects those values. Man, this code base is huge.

No, I am not assuming it is correct: I am assuming it is the way it was
done before. It was so in 26.3 and it is so in 27.0.90 before Gnus is
invoked.
And I am not being lazy: I am totally lost at where this variable is
changed or how. I have spent 4 hours this morning just identifying what
prevented me from opening email, and just managed to get what I showed
before. If I know where the wrong assignment was taking place I would
have provided a patch, not a bug report.
But this is kind of a serious bug: it breaks opening of .authinfo.gpg.
